Reds starting pitcher Mike Leake was arrested on a shoplifting charge at a downtown Cincinnati department store Monday, accused of trying to steal six shirts with a total value of $59.88.
Leake, 23, was booked at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a first-degree misdemeanor charge of shoplifting. It carries a maximum of 180 days in jail.
Leake started and got the victory in an 11-2 win over the Pirates on Saturday.
Arrest reports said Leake removed the price tags from six American Rag T-shirts at a Macy's and tried to leave without paying. Leake makes $425,000 in his second season in the majors.
