8. Richard Madeley
Richard Madeley comes from the United Kingdom, and he is famous for being a television presenter, as well as for writing novels and magazine columns. Back in 1994, he was arrested by authorities when he tried to leave a store without paying for some items, such as champagne. Nice taste there, Madeley! These actually happened two times at the famed Tesco grocery store in Manchester. So how did he manage to get out of that one? He claimed he had memory lapses, which led to him being acquitted of the charges. Fast forward to 2011 and he was awarded with an honorary doctorate degree. Talk about turning things around!
7. Jameis Winston
Sorry, but this is just plain funny. Jameis Winston, famed college sports player and current rookie QB for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was nabbed for stealing crab legs. Really! It is even captured on video. In the footage, Winston is seen going to a grocery store and then nonchalantly strolling out with some tasty crab legs – $30 worth of them. Winston, who played collegiate football and baseball, was consequently suspended from the baseball team and was also required to do some community service. What a crazy shoplifting case. Hey, an athlete had gotta eat, and crabs are a nice source of protein! Still, we find this one pretty humorous.
