Jesus Wilson, a wide receiver for the Florida State Seminoles football team, has been arrested and charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle for stealing a motor scooter.

According to the Florida Times-Union, campus police arrested Wilson Wednesday and the charge resulted in the wideout's suspension. A third-degree felony, grand theft of a motor vehicle is punishable by up to five years in prison.

"[Wilson] has been suspended in accordance with the athletics department's code of conduct policy," Florida State head football coach Jimbo Fisher said in a statement.

The school's code of conduct policy will allow Wilson to practice and train, but he will remain suspended until "charge is resolved and all court, university and athletics department conditions for reinstatement have been met." The school did not comment further.

Court documents showed Wilson allegedly stole the scooter last month on the morning of June 11, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. The owner reported the vehicle stolen after he parked it in front of the Love Building on Atomic Way and said it was worth $1,000.

On June 17, campus police apprehended Wilson on the scooter and discovered it was damaged. The owner estimated the scooter would cost $882.13 to fix. Wilson said another Florida State student, only identified as "Drew," was loaning him the scooter, but the football player could not produce contact information for the person.

Wilson maintained that "Drew," a student who sat next to him in class, lent him the scooter during a meeting with investigating officer Sgt. Christopher Brun on June 25, the Times-Union reported. Brun set up a photo lineup July 3, but Wilson the test. Four days later, Wilson said he took the scooter in an emailed statement, resulting in his arrest.

According to ESPN, Wilson only caught three passes as a freshman last season for 23 yards. But in the team's spring game, Wilson caught four passes for 101 yards, including one for a touchdown and one for a 66-yard gain.
