per the News Press:
Derrick Wells, a standout football player at Lehigh Senior High and the University of Minnesota, was arrested on third degree felony grand theft charges.
Wells allegedly took $5,000 out of a wallet he found at the Lee County Justice Center on March 10, according to court documents. He was arrested on a warrant in Hillsborough County and transported to Lee County Jail on Wednesday, where he remained in custody Thursday afternoon with bail set at $5,000.
Wells, a 2011 Lehigh graduate, played four seasons as a defensive back at Minnesota, starting eight of 13 games his senior season with 40 tackles, three pass breakups and one interception. He signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a free agent in May 2015, but was cut before the end of training camp with a non-football injury designation.
Wells is accused of finding a wallet left on a seat in the Family Court Services waiting area. Video surveillance showed a man sit on the wallet, look inside it, then put it with his papers and leave. A young boy found the wallet empty in the bathroom and turned it in to authorities. The clerk that assisted Wells identified him in a photo lineup as the person she helped before he left her window and sat on the wallet.
