Reds pitcher Mike Leake arrested for stealing $60 in clothes
A. Isaac 
Cincinnati Reds pitcher Mike Leake was arrested this afternoon on suspicion of theft at Macy’s. The grand total of the heist was $59.98, which included six American Rag T-shirts from the store.
Police said the incident was caught on security cameras at the Downtown Macy’s.
The theft is listed as a misdemeanor. Cincinnati police didn’t immediately respond to e-mails asking for more information about Leake’s arrest.
The theft charge carries a maximum jail term of 180 days.
Leake is making $425,000 in salary this year so he’s either one cheap bastard or some kind of kleptomaniac. For what it’s worth, the Reds organization, at this time, have no comment on the matter but considering it just happened a few hours ago, I’m guessing they’re desperately scrambling to find the team psychiatrist. I can’t assume that when they drafted him in 2009, one of the psychological screening questions asked was “would you steal $60 bucks in t-shirts at the local Macy’s”?
