Steelers Kicker Reed Pleads Guilty To Throwing 'Terrible' Towel Tantrum

Fresh off of his team's Super Bowl XLIII victory, Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Jeff Reed has pleaded guilty to charges following an incident involving some towels, but not the Terrible kind waved by his fans.

Pennsylvania State Police said Reed threw a temper tantrum at a Sheetz convenience store in New Alexandria because its restroom didn't have any towels.

Reed was cited for disorderly conduct and criminal mischief, offenses similar to traffic tickets. Police said he broke the towel dispenser then used profane language to an employee and also outside the Route 22 store.

On Friday, Reed pleaded guilty to the charges against him and was fined more than $500, which includes restitution to the store.

"Reed caused damage to a towel dispenser as he was infuriated at the fact that there were no towels in it," according to a news release by Trooper Shawn Askins, who issued the citations.

Reed made 27 of 31 field goals and 36 of 37 PATs for 117 points in his seventh season with the Steelers, which was capped by Pittsburgh's 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Bowl.

Reed has made nearly 83 percent of his field goals (162 of 196) and scored 733 points for the Steelers in his career.
