Thirteen days ago, Steelers kicker Jeff Reed was preparing to win his second Super Bowl ring. Little more than twelve hours ago, Reed was gettled saddled with two criminal counts. All due to an absence of paper towels. According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Reed “threw a tantrum” because of an empty paper towel dispenser at a convenience store. He began yelling loudly, and used profanity. He also banged on the dispenser, and damaged it. Reed continued to use profanity after leaving the store. The 29-year-old kicker eventually was arrested and charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct. The Steelers likely won’t take any action against Reed. Especially if he needed the paper towels to clean up water that had been spilled during a nearby baptism.
