Cincinnati Reds Pitcher Mike Leake Arrested For Shoplifting

Here's a story that will definitely leave you scratching your head and wondering.

Cincinnati Reds Pitcher Mike Leake was busted for shoplifting this past Monday (April 15th).

He was arrested after allegedly taking the price tags off of six t-shirts, and then attempting to leave the store without paying for them. The total value of the shirts was just over $59.

Mike Leake will make $425,000 this season pitching for the Reds! Can you figure out the behavior? Leake is not denying it and has apologized to fans and his family.

It's not a new story among celebrities of all stripes. You might remember Winona Ryder getting busted for shoplifting many years back. Lindsay Lohan was charged with jewelry theft.

It sure seems to happen a lot. Why do you think people who make that much money would risk the public humiliation over stealing what could EASILY be purchased? Is it just for a thrill? It's got to be something like that, because there just isn't any logical explanation. (via espn.go.com)
