He misunderstood "shopping spree". This could happen to anyone.

One of the funniest things ever. Can't make stuff like this up lol!

Perhaps he thought he could add what he wanted to his Belk Bowl Bag of Swag.

The bowl trophy presentation ceremony could be a bit awkward if Arkansas wins.

On Thursday we learned that Arkansas tight end Jeremy Sprinkle was suspended from the Belk Bowl.

Read the fine print, and we learned that Sprinkle was suspended for shoplifting...

from Belk...

Which is a department store, for those previously unaware...

Which is sponsoring the bowl game that he would have been playing in...

For which as a participation gift, players receive a shopping trip to...

Belk.

Happy New Year.

A $450 gift card wasn't enough?

You just beat me to it! How f*cking stupid do you have to be?

Myron Rolle he is not.

Good publicity for belk atleast... cant say the same for the bowl game bandit over here.

About to be drafted too. Smart move.

He probably got away with shoplifting back in Arkansas on more than one occasion, just like Jameis Winston and the crab legs, so maybe he thought that is how all department stores work.

In the end, everyone made out.

Belk caught a shoplifter, so they didn't lose any merchandise. They also saved $450 since they don't have to give Sprinkle his gift.

NFL teams got a look at the character (and intelligence) of Mr. Sprinkle.

Jeremy Sprinkle (hopefully) learned a very important life lesson... though I'm sure he would have preferred not to learn it from jail.

Belk is a department store?

That's not what I thought the word meant.
