"Royce White, the state's reigning Mr. Basketball and the top recruit in Tubby Smith's freshman class, was arrested Oct. 13 for shoplifting and fifth-degree assault at Macy's in the Mall of America, according to police reports obtained Tuesday by the Star Tribune.

According to a police report, a Macy's security officer confronted White, who was with three other males, and tried to handcuff the 6-8, 240-pound power forward after he allegedly attempted to steal about $100 worth of merchandise. The police report said White pushed the security guard "down to the ground two times." Bloomington officers eventually arrived and arrested White, who was released with citations."

Probably was having sports withdrawls. Needed to focus on something a little more exciting other than days and days of dudes tossing balls around.

Yep. Now his name is Mr Shoplifter.

So when an athlete does something bad, it's reflective of all athletes, but when a athlete does something good it gets scoffed at?

You got it! JIMBO!!!

When an athlete dose good, he calls the media so he can get his mug on the front page of all the Newspapers.

They're only fishing for complements.

But of all the people who have made personal sacrifices and doing good in their own communities, then all they get is a short strip a couple of inches long in the back pages, if they even get that.

HOLD THE PRESSES!!! A JOCK JUST RESCUED A KITTEN FROM A TREE!!!
