"We are gathering facts on the matter, and if appropriate, we will address it accordingly with Rod internally," coach Hugh Freeze said in a statement.
Taylor placed but allegedly failed to pay for two bags of charcoal in a basket underneath his shopping cart while going through a self-checkout line, a source said. The source added his understanding of the case was that Taylor did so by accident and would have to go to court and pay the amount, approximately $40, before the charges would be thrown out.
Taylor appeared in 10 games last season while but was limited with a shoulder injury. He has missed spring practice as a result of surgery on his shoulder.
