According to a report published on Tomahawk Nation, it appears that last year’s National Champion was arrested and issued a citation for stealing crab legs from a Publix. The story seems ridiculous, so we will update as it unfolds. Already there has been an update from The Big Lead which says he was definitely not arrested. There is a VERY big difference between an arrest and a citation, so it is already great to hear that FSU is denying any arrest.
And this…

Here is the original story according to Tomahawk Nation:
Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston was issued a citation Tuesday for shoplifting crab legs from Publix, a misdemeanor arrest, according to multiple sources. Winston, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, is a red-shirt sophomore for the Seminoles.
Winston has had previous run-ins with the law, but no arrests. He was investigated for an alleged rape, but the State Attorney declined to bring charges due to a lack of evidence. In November, the associated press reported that Winston was questioned about his involvement in a long-running BB gun battle, and that a Burger King reported Winston was stealing soda in a ketchup cup.
The Internet had some fun with the story out of the gate, as well they should.

So apparently Jameis Winston was arrested for shoplifting crab legs, but this is too far!
