ESPN: Steelers kicker Jeff Reed is in trouble with the police over
some towels, but not the Terrible kind waved by his fans.
Pennsylvania state police say Reed threw a temper tantrum at a
Sheetz convenience store in New Alexandria, a tiny borough about
35 miles east of Pittsburgh, because its restroom didn't have any
towels. Reed has been cited for disorderly conduct and criminal
mischief, offenses similar to traffic tickets that carry a maximum
fine of $300 and 90 days in jail each. Police said he broke the
towel dispenser then used profane language to an employee and also
outside the store. "Reed caused damage to a towel dispenser as he
was infuriated at the fact that there were no towels in it,"
according to a news release by Trooper Shawn Askins, who issued
the citations. The incident occurred Saturday about 2:50 a.m.
