Florida State University quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston was cited for allegedly taking seafood from a Tallahassee grocery store without paying , the Leon County Sheriff 's Office said Wednesday . Winston , a two-sport athlete , was suspended from FSU 's baseball team on Wednesday . Winston , only the second freshman to win college football 's most coveted award , allegedly walked into a Publix near the FSU campus Tuesday night , ordered about $ 32 worth of crab legs and crawfish , and walked out of the store without paying , sheriff 's Maj. Michael Wood told reporters . After deputies contacted him about three hours later , Winston told them that he forgot to pay , Wood said . `` He was very cooperative , '' Wood said . `` Seemed fairly honest in the fact that he did not pay for the items , so it was not a huge mystery to solve . '' Social media takes the story and runs with it . As part of the civil citation for alleged shoplifting -- an alternative to criminal prosecution for first-time , nonviolent offenses in the county -- Winston was not arrested but has been ordered to serve at least 20 hours of community service , Wood said . CNN 's call to the university 's athletic department was not immediately returned . `` I am confident he will complete his community service obligation and the situation will be resolved soon , '' FSU baseball coach Mike Martin said in a news release . The school 's football coach , Jimbo Fisher , said , `` I fully support Coach Martin 's decision and will also make sure that Jameis meets all obligations , which I know he will . '' Wood said Winston `` most likely '' will have to pay Publix the $ 32 , noting that restitution usually is part of the citation program . A Publix employee noticed Winston left without paying but waited a while to notify a deputy , thinking Winston might have gone outside to get a cart , Wood said . Wood said civil citations , as opposed to criminal charges , can be given in similar cases at deputies ' discretion , and when the store and the suspect agree to terms . Publix and Winston agreed to this citation , Wood said . He said the sheriff 's office has issued 32 civil citations `` for very similar crimes '' since December . Winston won the Heisman in December , a month after a Florida prosecutor announced no charges would be filed over a woman 's allegation that Winston raped her in 2012 . The prosecutor said authorities did not even have probable cause to arrest Winston in the case . The accuser alleged Winston had raped her after she had been drinking with friends at a bar ; Winston maintained that the sexual activity was consensual .
