Police reports indicate the former first‑round pick was seen with groceries concealed in his sweatpants, but the store declined to pursue theft charges.

Overview

  • Reports published Mar. 4–5 cite a police report saying the stop occurred between Feb. 22 and Feb. 28 in Georgia after an officer saw Nkemdiche exit a Kroger with bulging items under his sweatpants.
  • An officer called for backup, contacted Nkemdiche at a nearby gas station, and placed him in double‑locked handcuffs before running his name.
  • Frozen goods, candy bars, and almond milk were recovered in the Kroger and gas station parking lots, and police said the perishable items were discarded.
