Unknown LSU player supposedly sold items

I'm confused. Why was the guy arrested? Are they saying that because he won't say who supplied him with the gear that he must have stolen it. Did LSU report some gear as stolen?

 

LSU reported the gear as stolen and this guy was on record for selling it.

 

I don't know the rules, I'd guess maybe market value (minus the value of their celebrity).

 

So it didn't have to be a player like the article suggests.

 

That's the first I've heard of that.

 

I would think if they own a personal vehicle, they can sell it. The equipment they receive from LSU to play football is the property of LSU, thus selling it would be like stealing it, and then profiting from something that wasn't yours to begin with.

 

Sanders needs to get a lawyer. Being arrested for possession of stolen goods that are not recovered is weird.

 

All gear is leased out to players, they are borrowing it but have to return it to the school. I would think the school would be aware of who's gear is missing. I'd guess that the only way this guy gets a hold of that gear is if he steals it from a player or the player gave it to him to sell (or maybe some support staff stole it).

 

Couldn't a trainer or assistant or some grad assistant get their hands on it?
