Getty ImagesThe Cowboys won their fifth game on Sunday afternoon and one of their players allegedly tried to celebrate on Monday night by taking a five-finger discount on a bottle of cologne and some underwear.
Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that running back Joseph Randle was arrested in Frisco, Texas for taking the items without bothering to pay the store anything for the privilege. Per Hill, Randle was caught in the act by video cameras and police were notified.
A spokesman for the Frisco police department confirmed that Randle was arrested on a Class B misdemeanor charge of a theft between $50-$500. He was booked at the city jail and released after posting bond.
Randle ran five times for 52 yards in last Sunday’s victory in Seattle. There’s no word yet on how or if the arrest will impact Randle’s status on the team.
Lifetime ban!!!
What. A. Moron.
signed a four-year, $2.5 million deal with 188K in bonus and he is stealing some drawz and body spray?
You can take em’ out the hood but cant take the hood out of em’
“I just forgot I had them in my hand when I left. After all I play for the “Boys and I’m not too smart.”
Needs to ask Jerrah for a raise.
laughing out loud.
going to straight to the top of ‘most commented’
He spent his whole check already, Makes at least $400k right ?

Why do rich people feel the need to steal?
Randle was shorty thereafter fined $10,000 for shoplifting a brand of underwear that was not an official sponsor of the NFL.
Derpity Derp times infinity.
The stupidity of some of the people in the world never ceases to amaze me.
Joseph “the Genius” Randle said no one ever
Why??
He thought after beating the Seahawks, he couldn’t get arrested…he was wrong.
With all the money you make you’re caught stealing?
Wow, after stealing a game in Seattle?
Want to change his behavior, threaten to trade him to the Vikings next time he pulls that crap. Not only would the Vikings embrace a fellow criminal, they would welcome any offensive talent because they currently have none.
Randle would realize his goal of playing pro football would effectively end in Minnesota so it should serve as a strong incentive.
Pretty sad when an NFL player has to have a night job shop lifting from the local Piggly Wiggly.
underwear and cologne? Even if he’s making rookie minimum, you should be able to afford that on your own.
He should be cut just for being so stupid, it can’t be measured in human terms
I’m broke but I still buy my own underwear. Geez
How bout them kleptos!
“a bottle of cologne and underwear”????
At least he was caught trying to acquire the minimum necessities needed to survive everyday life.
Even this guy cant believe how well the cowboys have played this season…He is stocking up, preparing for the fall…
What I really want to know is what brands of underwear and cologne he was going for, given that their value apparently totaled at least $50…
RESET THE COUNTER!!!
Just like our society, there is a small percentage that qualify as pure trash. Leaving miniscule tips, abusing handicapped people, beating wives and teammates, and now shoplifting. Should suspend all these idiots and make them take civil obedience classes for a month on their own dime – without pay…
WOW SMH
Underwear and Cologne?He must have had a hot date.
He’s been a thief his whole life (my All-American college roommate was the same way) and he just can’t help himself. I got a new roommate.
Damn!! You can’t even make this stuff up!!!
Dude is making almost $500K and he has to steal underwear.
What a moron!
What an idiot.
Give me a break, already !!! What is wrong with people nowadays? There are cameras EVERYWHERE! Driving under the influence, beating your wife/girlfriend, smoking pot, and now … SHOPLIFTING? Do pro athletes think they are priveledged, or are they just that stupid? Come on !!!
Randle FINALLY shows some talent in the Seattle game, and he celebrates by, what … grabbing some Hai Karate and a pair of “Simpson’s” boxers ???
Joseph Randle’s Twitter feed from September 14:
“3 things that can’t be bought….
Love , Health & Time”
I guess we can now add underwear and cologne to that list….
Hanging out with Jameis Winston? At least it wasn’t Central Market. They have some expensive seafood, would’ve been more than a misdemeanor
I see nothing wrong with this.

Tatum Bell
Well he was asking for more carries, so…
The really expensive cologne is always locked up. So we must be talking about a thirty or forty dollar bottle of cologne and a package or two of underwear. What an idiot.
Mama, don’t let your babies grow up to be Cowboys:)
Watch out if Murray gets hurt!!
Like Einstein said, “the difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits.”
Lol. How about them criminal cowboys
He just wanted to feel good and smell good for the beating they are going to do on the Giants on Sunday.
looks like we’ll be seeing more of Dunbar for the next four weeks
Can’t make this stuff up.
How ’bout them COWBOYS!
Was it Cam Newton’s new cologne line, “Fire Stank”? Wait, “Drakkar Essence.” I always get those two confused.
Football players don’t make enough money. They have to steal?
Compared to this other stuff, this is baby dung.
What a moron!!
Since no violence was involved, it will be a 2 year suspension, otherwise, it would of been 2 weeks if violence was involved.
He must have idolized Peter Warrick and Laveranues Coles growing up.
Going by the NFL’s recent use of lame excuses, Randle’s explanation will probably be “Those pacakges fell off the shelf and right into my pockets”… I swear !!!
Maybe it was some weird modern art project…
now he will get suspended 4 games and right when he does Murray will go down with an injury.. there goes the season. Thanks asshat
Cowboys finally didn’t make that critical mistake before the end of regulation, they just waited to after the game, Monday to be exact.
Is Jerry charging him to park at the stadium?
Those NFL guys aren’t making nearly enough, even at league minimum
Why the NFL continues to draft individuals that feel they owe no accountability to anyone is beyond me.
This kid is really talented, too. What a shame. Hopefully he gets a second chance and matures. The kid is REALLY good.
“Who does something that stupid”?
Sincerely, Jameis Winston
SMH
LOL, a millionaire shoplifting?
Time to place him in the NFL’s program for kleptomaniacs.
Joseph Randle: late night talk show punch line. Instead of now talking about the meticulous turnaround Garrett and Jones may be in the midst of engineering, it will be jokes and jabs. Randle has shown serious promise. But I would consider kicking his sorry a$$ down the road. How dumb can you really be?
It’s a “Self-Destruct” reaction;
Some people aren’t used-to Success,
so, when they ARE successful at something
they don’t feel they deserve it, and do
something Stupid to punish themselves
or just to feel “normal”.
Alot like when women (or men)
are in a good relationship,
but they are used-to Bad ones;
So they cause havok and arguments;
making them feel comfortable.
People usually don’t know that they
have a Problem. :[
Please reset the Days Without an Arrest clock to zero.
Jerry must pay them on 1st and 15th of the month and well the 15th isn’t until tomorrow!
You just know that his teammates won’t let him live that down. I foresee free ugly underwear and cheap cologne in his locker for the next coupla months!
The next Nate Newton?:)
Uh oh, here comes the NFL’s new “Shoplifting” policy.
What’s the problem? Soil yourself, seek replacement drawers and something to hide the stank. There should man law written to not report this scenario. Further proof the world is out to get the ‘Boys! Stay strong together and bring home that 6th trophy!
Just when you think you have heard it all, or it couldnt get any worse, we have a Darwin award winner.
More bad judgement. What is it with these guys!?
Wow…..just….wow!
Funny (and dumb on Randle’s part) but not the end of the world… c’mon Rice and Peterson? Did the modern day ADD society forget already.
The money these guys make and they think they have to shoplift. Sad…
He needed underwear for the Super Bowel.
Cowboys should know better.
No Thumbs Downs Please .
Maybe they were special underwear and he was embarrassed. Maybe one of those Derek Jeter jobs. He’s well-paid but probably not enough to justify paying someone else to go pick up his underwear.
Dude, Jerry Jones said “THE LOMBARDI TROPHY”.
Not Hanes and Polo Sport.
4 years $587,000.00 average per year ?
It’s just what criminals do ….
Appropriate movie quote …..
“There’s no such thing as enough. We take what can be taken. That is what we do.”
Name that flick
“Oh snap. I forgot I signed a $2.349 million contract.”
What does Winona Rider think about this?
We all know he did this for the thrill. He aint the only one. People like this just dont get it. When you play for the NFL, you reflect on that badge, that team. It’s not just YOU. If it were my team (and I am a lifelong fan) I would give him a one game suspension with no pay from the team. He better be damn glad Jimmy Johnson is not the coach. He cut Curvin Richards right before the playoffs (who had at that point, done more for the team than Randle has at this point) for fumbling in a game the Cowboys were way ahead in. If Johnson were still there, it would be bye-bye for good. Still, what a dumb a$$.
Now, is there any video of this? Because apparently the commissioner does not know what words mean….
Not only is this insane, it goes against one of the ten commandments.
“Thou Shall Not Steal”
He will ne answering to a higher entity than Jerruh and Roger!!
See, you just knew them Cowboyz would find some way to tarnish their good vibes.
How ’bout dem Cowcrooks!
Oh no, God no. This gives Jerry Boy new material for his daily I/Me/Mine pressers!
Randle:
“Yes, $496,000/yr…..b-but that’s before the taxes that make up your salary, your honor”
So Randle, with his relatively sizeable income feels he can steal some cologne, so I should be able to shoplift a Porsche then right?
Right?!
This can’t be real life.
Bueller…
Bueller…
Bueller…
hes not getting enough carries. its a cry for help
I think making Dallas forfeit the Seattle game would be a reasonable response by the league.
Of course if he were a Niner, this wouldn’t make top 10 of their routine crimes.
Jerry Jones just bought the store and all charges are being dropped.
Under the conditions of Joseph Randle I would say he is sick and in need of psychiatric help not jail or being banned from the NFL.
According to the Dallas Morning News, he lifted a $39.50 pair of Polo underwear and a tester bottle of Gucci Black cologne valued at $84.
He was arrested and posted his $350 bond.
So let me get this straight…he makes $496k per year and feels the need to shoplift two items costing roughly $125 then turns around and posts his $350 bail? Huh?
Maybe they should have checked him for a head injury after Sunday’s game.
Dallas always finds a way to ……….loose!
Nov/Dec right around the corner.
No one ever said pro football players were smart and it’s painfully obviously this season more than ever.
Be funny if it had been John Randle, and he was wearing his face paint!
He’s just used to the stuff being given to him at Oklahoma State…..
Further proof that NFL players are underpaid, smh.
Both items were brands that he isn’t being paid to endorse. See a heck of a commercial in the future…..”So good, just had to have them”………
The NFL will have to do something……..3 Game suspension?
Michael Irvin was proud!
Maybe he was shopping for Jerruh.
Axe and Depends.
C’mon folks… $496k isn’t what it used to be!
A nd as stupid as he is, And he is VERY stuoid, no one is going to get suspended for a first infraction that is a misdemeanor kids. Simma down.
While I cannot take credit it for it but it bares repeating.. “The Frisco Police Department stopped Joseph Randle more often than the Seattle Seahawk defense did.”
Also ..it seems like Dillard’s (HQ’d in Little Rock, AR btw) would invest in some better Loss Prevention. These athletes seem to be “targeting” Dillard’s. Back in the day (1990’s) Dillards was a “anchor store” and thought to be somewhat nice, but nowadays, not so much!!!!
Jerry needs a birfday present
Men still wear cologne???
He had just eluded the mighty Seahawks defense, so he must have concluded that he had turned invisible.
this will hurt the football focus that they need to maintain because they’re now talking about this rather than football
Where is Goodell? Oh yeah, he’s locked up in Eminem’s basement. Good, keep him there.
I suffer from kleptomania. When it gets bad I take something for it.
the guy makes over 500k
Cowboy Culture.
He just forgot to pay, right Jameis?
Some how he’s gonna say he’s a victim in all this.
on a side note.. What happened to Demarcus Ware? No sacks yet? As a Dallas fan living in Dallas I dont get to watch all the Denver games.. Is he hurt?.
The footage actually shows him fumbling the underwear leaving the store.

i’m just happy this didn’t say John Randle, my favorite defensive player of all time.
at least he didn’t steal any doughnuts like Golden.
“A fiery horse with the speed of light, a cloud of dust and a hearty ‘Hi-yo Silver’ – the Cologne Ranger!”
Smart.
