The Leon County Sheriff's Office held a press conference Wednesday afternoon to detail the incident and citation involving Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston stealing from Publix.

As you see in the video above, Major Mike Wood emphasized that Winston was not charged with a crime but rather issued an adult civil citation for shoplifting crab legs Tuesday night. There's not a whole lot of substance within the 10 minute video, but he does give a little more detail into what happened and explains how he'll rectify his mistake.

The Heisman Trophy winner didn't deny the allegations and released the following the statement through his attorney today:

"As reported in the news, last night I received an adult civil citation for petit theft from a local supermarket. I went to the supermarket with the intent to purchase dinner but made a terrible mistake for which I’m taking full responsibility. In a moment of youthful ignorance, I walked out of the store without paying for one of my items.

"I realize that I am in the public spotlight and my conduct needs to be above reproach. Over the last year I’ve learned that my accomplishments on the fields can be a wonderful thing for my school, teammates, friends, and family. At the same time, I must realize that my mistakes are magnified and can bring great embarrassment to all those who support me every day. I make no excuses for my actions and will learn and grow from this unfortunate situation. I hope and pray my friends and family will view me as the 20-year-old young man that I am, and support me through this unfortunate situation.

"I am grateful to be able to participate in the adult citation program where I will complete community service."

Are you willing to excuse the incident due to 'youthful ignorance'?
