A deputy in the Leon County Sheriff’s Office said Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston avoided store security when he left a Publix grocery store with three pounds of steamed crab legs and one pound of steamed crawfish without paying, according to the incident report released Monday afternoon.

The deputy wrote the report based on viewing the Publix surveillance video.

Winston completed 20 hours of community service as part of his punishment for a shoplifting citation he received on Tuesday and was subsequently reinstated to the Florida State baseball team.
