Two South Florida football fans have been accused of stealing Dolphins' jerseys and stuffing them down their pants. Nelson Walker, 40, appeared in court on Monday, wearing a Miami jersey.
Reading the back of Walker's garb, the judge asked, "Bess, is he new this year?”
"This ain't the one, your honor," replied Walker.
Walker and his friend James Hanna, 49, are charged with third degree theft after grabbing two jerseys and a hat from a souvenir stand before running off during the Houston Texans vs. Miami Dolphins game at Sun Life Stadium.
The suspects’ bond was placed at $5,000 and they have been banned from attending Miami games for the rest of the season.
