Well this is certainly interesting.
According to the Baton Rouge Advocate, a 25-year-old shoe store employee, Fletcher Sanders, was arrested earlier this week and charged with principal to theft and possession of stolen things. The charges are related to the sale of game-worn LSU football equipment -- cleats and gloves -- sold recently on Ebay.
Sanders told police that he had sold the merchandise for a current LSU football player, but declined to give a name to police.
“Do what you have to do,” Sanders said according to the Advocate when told he’d be arrested if he didn’t give up a name. “I am not going to be responsible for ruining someone’s career.”
The sale would represent a violation of NCAA bylaws.
Police stated that they believe this is an isolated incident. The school has not yet commented publicly on the situation.
