Reds starter Mike Leake was sentenced today to counseling and 30 hours of community service after pleading guilty to a charge reduced from theft to unauthorized use of property, reports CBS news.

Leake was arrested  two weeks ago as he was accused of  stealing $59.88 worth of T-shirts (6 total) from a Macy’s department store. According to police reports Leake was caught on security cameras at the Downtown Macy’s removing the security tags from six American Rag shirts. Leake attempted to conceal the items and leave the store where he was ultimately caught.

Of course someone who is making $425,000 for the season wouldn’t just straight out steal the shirts. Or would they? Before the Reds game today, Leake said the entire incident was a mistake as he was trying to exchange T-shirts he’d purchased on April 2 that were too small. Instead of doing what normal people do and return the items at a counter with an employee, he simply left the already-purchased T-shirts, picked up new ones and tried to leave the store. Leake added that he did have a credit-card statement that confirmed the original purchase, but he didn’t have the sales receipt.

“It was a serious lapse in judgment. I can’t tell you what was going on in my head. It was a bad mistake.”
