FAYETTEVILLE — Former Arkansas tight end Jeremy Sprinkle isn't shying away from questions about the shoplifting incident that caused him to miss his final game with the Razorbacks.
In a Q&A podcast with the Senior Bowl, Sprinkle was asked about the incident at a Belk department store in Charlotte, N.C., where he was cited for attempting to shoplift eight items valued at $260.
The team was on a shopping spree as part of pregame festivities for the Belk Bowl. Players had 90 minutes to spend a $450 gift card to the store, and were also given a 20 percent manager's discount, according to bowl officials.
