The Yahoo News Network website reports today (April 19, 2011) that Cincinnati Reds pitching ace Mike Leake -- who makes $425,000 a year and received a $2.3 million signing bonus after being drafted from Arizona State University in 2009 -- was arrested and booked yesterday afternoon for allegedly stealing $59.88 worth of merchandise from Macy's department store in downtown Cincinnati.
The second-year right-hander is accused of stealing six American Rag T-shirts from the store, removing the security tags, and leaving the store without paying for them.
Police said the incident was caught on security cameras.
If convicted of this misdemeanor, Leake stands to spend up to 180 days in jail.
