Cincinnati Red Mike Leake Caught Stealing

Posted on April 19, 2011 by Matthew Stockwell
 
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Mike Leake, who is earning $425,000 this year, and was given a $2.27 million signing bonus in 2009, was arrested today for allegedly shoplifting 6 shirts worth a total of $59.88. Leak was charged with misdemeanor theft after surveillance videos reportedly caputured him removing the price tags from the shirts, and attempting to leave the store without paying. 
 
Leake was booked and released, and watched Monday's game from the dugout. If true, it obviously doesn't make sense, but remember Winona Ryder pled guilty to misdemeanor shoplifting in 2005. Leake will not offer an explanation at this time, due to the pending legal proceeding.
