Video shows Cowboy Randle booked into jail on shoplifting charge, offers $100 for massage

FRISCO, Texas – As he was being booked on a shoplifting charge, Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle offered $100 for a massage and wondered aloud if his arrest would make the news.

KTVT-TV (http://cbsloc.al/1tkhSWi) on Wednesday night aired the video of Randle at the Frisco City Jail following his Oct. 13 arrest. Randle was charged with misdemeanour theft after being accused of stealing cologne and underwear from a Dallas-area department store.

In the video, Randle is heard asking a booking officer: “If I give you $100, can you give me a massage?” The officer replies: “No.”

Randle also says: “Hey, is this going to be on the news, you think?”

The player was later freed on bond. The Cowboys fined Randle an undisclosed amount following his arrest.
