When confronted at his apartment later, deputies say Winston told them he forgot to pay for the seafood. Wood says it is up to the discretion of deputies to decide whether someone receives a civil citation and both Winston and Publix had to agree to it. It is typically reserved for first time offenders without a record, Wood said. LCSO says Winston must report to the Civil Citation program within 7 days and complete 20 hours of community service. If he does not comply with the terms, the case would be turned over to the state attorney to consider criminal misdemeanor petit theft charges. Wood says there is surveillance video of Winston in the store. He says Winston ordered the seafood at the counter and had it prepared for him. . . --- News Release: Florida State Athletics April 30, 2014 - 1:30pm Statement from Florida State Athletics Regarding Jameis Winston “As a result of his citation last night, we are suspending Jameis Winston from the baseball team,” said FSU Baseball Coach Mike Martin. “I am confident he will complete his community service obligation and the situation will be resolved soon.” FSU’s Athletic Department Code of Conduct/Discipline Policy provides that a student-athlete with a civil citation is eligible to practice and compete. The decision as to whether they are allowed to practice and/or compete rests with the head coach. “I fully support Coach Martin’s decision and will also make sure that Jameis meets all obligations, which I know he will,” said FSU Football Coach Jimbo Fisher. . . . ........................................................................................................................................................... . .....item 1b1)....

FSU Number 5 - Jameis Winston cdn0.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/32353459/2014... Matthew Emmons - USA TODAY Sports .......................... . Florida State's Jameis Winston was cited for allegedly shoplifting crab legs from Publix. orida State quarterback Jameis Winston was issued a citation Tuesday for shoplifting crab legs from Publix, according to multiple sources. Winston, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, is a red-shirt sophomore for the Seminoles. "He got an adult civil citation," a trusted source inside Tallahassee Police told Tomahawk Nation. "If he completes the sanctions it will never show up on his record. They commonly give them to juveniles on first criminal offenses. They are now doing it for minor misdemeanors for adults to lower crime rate." Winston tossed the winning touchdown in the National Championship game over Auburn in the closing seconds. On the year, he was 257-384 for 4057 yards and 40 touchdowns with 10 interceptions. 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 timing of the citation is interesting given that the NCAA recently approved unlimited meals for student athletes. Winston was recently voted the quarterback on the Florida State All-Jimbo Fisher team. 11:30 Update: A source inside Florida State's program says that Winston will be fined , required to do community service, and will be suspended from the baseball team until his community service is completed. 11:35 Update: The Leon County Sheriff's Office will hold a 2 p.m. press conference concerning Jameis Winston. 1:38 Update: Jimbo Fisher and Mike Martin have issued statements on Winston being suspended from baseball until he finishes his community service.

The Leon County Sheriff’s Office said Winston was not arrested and will not face petty theft charges if he completes the terms of a civil pre-trial diversion program. FSU baseball coach Mike Martin announced Winston has been suspended from the team. "This is not a criminal arrest. This is a civil citation program,” said LCSO Maj.

An investigation determined Winston left the store about 9 p.m. with crab legs and crawfish he picked up from the deli counter. When deputies went to Winston’s apartment, the FSU redshirt sophomore said he forgot to pay. Publix officials and Winston agreed to the civil-citation procedure that will require Winston to complete 20 hours of community service, among other things. Video surveillance shows the Heisman winner order at the seafood then wander the aisles before leaving. An employee witnessed Winston leave, but thought he was going out to grab a shopping cart, so no one, including a sheriff’s deputy on staff, approached him. After employees realized he left for good, deputies were called about 10 p.m. A “very cooperative” Winston told deputies during questioning at his residence late Tuesday that he simply forgot to pay for the items. “He indicated to the deputies he had forgotten and when he got home he realized that he had not paid, but he in fact made no effort to contact Publix or return to pay prior to the deputy’s arrival,” Wood said. The majority of the 19-page LCSO report was redacted Tuesday. The case is still considered pending since Winston has not yet completed the program. Should he not complete the program, the case would be sent to the State Attorney’s Office for prosecution on a charge of petty theft. “I don’t have a crystal ball. I can tell you that he did exit the store, the items were not paid for,” Wood said. “He was issued a civil citation and has indicated that he has every intention of fulfilling his obligation for the community service hours and most likely restitution as well.” . Page 1 of 3 . Pagd 2 of 3 (Page 2 of 3) Tallahassee attorney Tim Jansen, who is representing Winston in this matter, said the quarterback will be enrolling himself in community service today and will pay in restitution to Publix and 4 to DISC Village, the Tallahassee nonprofit administering the program. The program only applies to certain offenses for those with no criminal history and is designed to keep people out of the criminal justice system, Wood said. The program is used at the discretion of the arresting deputy and administered through the counseling non-profit DISC Village. Jansen, who represented Winston in December when there were allegations he sexually assaulted another FSU student, said he simply forgot to pay for the items from the seafood counter and wasn’t treated any different than anyone else. LCSO has issued 32 civil citations for similar crimes since December for offenders of similar crimes, Wood said. “He got the same availability for that program as someone without a criminal history,” Jansen said. “He cooperated and admitted his role to both the sheriff’s office and Publix.” “Its only a big deal because of who he is. He’s a Heisman winner,” he said. “He’s known nationally and all over the world and he’s a role model to a lot of kids. . --- Jameis Winston statement: Jameis Winston has released the following statement through attorney Tim Jansen regarding his recent citation: "As reported in the news, last night I received an adult civil citation for petit theft from a local supermarket. I went to the supermarket with the intent to purchase dinner but made a terrible mistake for which I’m taking full responsibility. In a moment of youthful ignorance, I walked out of the store without paying for one of my items. "I realize that I am in the public spotlight and my conduct needs to be above reproach. Over the last year I’ve learned that my accomplishments on the fields can be a wonderful thing for my school, teammates, friends, and family. At the same time, I must realize that my mistakes are magnified and can bring great embarrassment to all those who support me every day. I make no excuses for my actions and will learn and grow from this unfortunate situation. I hope and pray my friends and family will view me as the 20-year-old young man that I am, and support me through this unfortunate situation. . Page 2 of 3 .

Leon County Sheriff’s Office said Winston was not arrested and will not face criminal charges if he completes the terms of the civil diversion. FSU baseball coach Mike Martin announced earlier Winston has been suspended from the team. "This is not a criminal arrest. This is a civil citation program,” said LCSO Maj. Mike Wood. Wood said an investigation determined the man who left the grocery without paying was Winston. When deputies went to Winston’s apartment, the FSU redshirt sophomore said he forgot to pay. Publix officials and Winston agreed to the civil-citation procedure that will require Winston to complete 20 hours of community service, among other things. . --- Earlier report The Florida State University athletics released the following statement, noting that Jameis Winston has been suspended from the baseball team. “As a result of his citation last night, we are suspending Jameis Winston from the baseball team,” said FSU Baseball Coach Mike Martin. “I am confident he will complete his community service obligation and the situation will be resolved soon.” FSU’s Athletic Department Code of Conduct/Discipline Policy provides that a student-athlete with a civil citation is eligible to practice and compete.

The Tallahassee Democrat has made a public records request regarding the incident to the Leon County Sheriff’s Office. LCSO officials have told the Democrat to be at their offices at 2 p.m. today. Whatever the case may be, Winston was not arrested or cited by Tallahassee Police Department. “In response to recent requests: TPD has NOT had any contact with Jameis Winston regarding an alleged recent citation,” the department said on its Twitter account.

The college football offseason is usually filled with horror for fans and coaches, as the ample amount of free time offers plenty of opportunities for athletes to find themselves in trouble. “Distractions,” as they’re so lovingly referred to, can range from simple offenses like barking at dogs like Florida linebacker Antonio Morrison to more serious charges like the four Georgia players who were cashing checks twice to get the money. This time in offseason adventures, it became public by way of Tomahawk Nation that Jameis Winston had been cited for attempting to shoplift crab legs from Publix on Ocala Road. The Leon County Sheriff’s Office held a press conference in which Major Mike Wood stated that there is surveillance video of Winston ordering .72 worth of seafood including crab legs and crawfish at the counter, having it prepared for him and walking out of the store without paying. Winston was confronted at his home later by LCSO deputies and claimed to have forgotten to pay, but had made no attempt to contact Publix to issue payment. Winston was issued an adult civil citation which will be given to the state attorney who may consider criminal misdemeanor petit theft charges if Winston fails to comply with reporting to the Civil Citation program within a week of the offense and doing 20 hours of community service. “This program would have been offered to anyone who met the criteria,” said Wood during the press conference when asked if Winston may have received special treatment because of his celebrity status. The issuance of a civil citation instead of criminal is up to the discretion of deputies and had to be agreed to by both the accused and the accuser. The situation would have had a different outcomes if the Publix had not agreed to a civil citation. According to Wood it is typically reserved for first time offenders without a record. Winston was investigated last year for sexual assault but has no record because an arrest was never made. The Heisman winner was also involved in two minor incidents in his career, shooting a BB through a window and using a ketchup cup to steal soda from Burger King. Florida State Athletics provided statements from both baseball coach Mike Martin and football coach Jimbo Fisher, as well as a reminder about the Athletic Department’s​ policies following the incident, which clarified that “that a student-athlete with a civil citation is eligible to practice and compete.” “As a result of his citation last night, we are suspending Jameis Winston from the baseball team,” said FSU baseball coach Mike Martin. “I am confident he will complete his community service obligation and the situation will be resolved soon.” “I fully support Coach Martin’s decision and will also make sure that Jameis meets all obligations, which I know he will,” said FSU football coach Jimbo Fisher.

Vladimir Legoida, a senior church spokesman, said their stunt 'must not remain unpunished whatever the justification,' but said that any repentance, if expressed, should be taken into account. 'The church sincerely wishes for the repentance of those who desecrated a holy place, certainly it would benefit their souls,' Legoida said in a speech. 'If any words of the convicts indicate repentance ... we would wish that they are not left unnoticed and those who violated the law get a chance to mend their ways.'

The trio's legal team and relatives hold out little hope that the sentences - which they believe are excessively harsh - will be quashed or reduced at the hearing scheduled for Monday, whether they repent or not. 'The sentence is predetermined; their repentance will not affect it in any way,' Stanislav Samutsevich, father of one of the jailed women, told Reuters. 'The fact the church is calling for that is nothing but a public relations move to sustain their reputation in the eyes of the public, as the church says it is separate from the state.'

Kirill dismissed criticism of his backing for the Kremlin on Friday, telling students that close ties between the church and state helped protect and develop society.

(AFP PHOTO / NATALIA KOLESNIKOVA) ........................... . www.dailystar.com.lb/News/International/2012/Oct-15/19151... MOSCOW: Two members of punk band Pussy Riot lost their appeal to stay in a Moscow pre-trial detention centre on Monday, their lawyer said, and will now serve the remainder of their terms in a remote penal colony where conditions are much tougher. Nadezhda Tolokonnikova, 22, and Maria Alyokhina, 24, had their two-year sentence imposed over a cathedral protest against Vladimir Putin upheld by Moscow City Court last week. They are convicted of hooliganism motivated by religious hatred. Both Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina have small children and lawyers are saying that a transfer to a colony outside Moscow where the regime is more strict than in detention centres will complicate their contacts with families. "There are many concerns there -- their safety, their health. A barrack for 150 people is not the same thing as a cell for four people," lawyer Mark Feigin told Reuters. The nearest penal colony is located about 100 km from Moscow. According to the Russian law only convicts with prison terms of less than six months can serve out their sentences in pre-trial detention centres. The law also makes an exception for inmates with skills needed in such centres. Tolokonnikova and Alyokhina's hearings took place at their detention centre, along with the appeals of 10 other inmates. Their lawyers argued that the two could work in the centre as cooks. Officials nominted 3 other inmates to stay. Russian prisons are notorious for squalid conditions and often brutal treatment of inmates by personnel. The country is facing international criticism over a 2009 death in prison of lawyer Sergei Magnitsky who may have been beaten to death. . . ............................................................................................................................................................................................. . .....item 3)....
