From staff reports

Baylor University basketball forward Rico Gathers was arrested Tuesday for allegedly stealing various household items from the Wal-Mart store on Franklin Avenue.

The incident happened about midnight June 1.

A store employee told police that a man he recognized as Gathers placed two pillows, a tote bag, a water dispenser and a trash can in a shopping cart and left the store without stopping to pay for the items, according to an arrest affidavit.

The employee provided police with video from the incident two days later, telling police the items were valued at $171, the affidavit said.

Waco police Sgt. W. Patrick Swanton said store employees had suspected Gathers of stealing items during previous visits to the store.

Gathers, 21, who is married and has a 1-year-old son, turned himself in Tuesday on a charge of theft under $500. He was released from the McLennan County Jail on Wednesday after posting a $1,000 bond.

Baylor coach Scott Drew released a statement Wednesday afternoon about Gathers’ arrest.

“We are aware of the situation involving Rico Gathers and are in the process of gathering the facts to determine what transpired,” Drew said. “It would be inappropriate for me to comment further at this time.”

4th season

Gathers, who is from LaPlace, Louisiana, is entering his fourth season at Baylor. Last year, he led the Bears in rebounding at 11.6 per game and was second on the team in scoring at 11.6 points per game.

He led the Big 12 Conference with 16 double-doubles, more than twice as many as any other player in the league, and was named first-team All-Big 12.

Last season, Gathers broke the oldest individual record in Baylor basketball’s record book when he pulled down 28 rebounds in a win over Huston- Tillotson.

How you gonna ROFL with a hollow back?
I don't believe it for a second anytime that a prominent student athlete gets arrested for "shoplifting". Someone at the store told him he had the run of the store, and then he got caught by someone who wasnt aware of the arrangement.
These student athletes need to stop dipping in that honeypot, sure they might get through 9 out of 10 times, but it aint worth the violation that 1 time they get caught up

And those are the facts from the fact.

fukking bytch ass NCAA need to pay these boys fukking hoe ass association.

But dawg you a year away from making big bucks why?!!

I'm sure he got an off-campus stipend and, being that he's married with a kid, probably Pell Grant money. Also, him being a student-athlete he could have gotten some money from the Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund for those items. Or he could have waited a few months and received his cost of attendance money. But, no he wanted to be stupid and steal some shyt. Do you even know what all I just talked about is?
