Listen up, wannabe crime lords! If you're thinking of knocking over Scheels in Grand Forks, North Dakota, for two $8 Nike fitbits... you better come more correct than former North Dakota junior fullback Dustin Iverson.

From GrandForksHerald.com:

Iverson was identified as the suspect in the incident after reporting party and Scheels employee Derek Trom discovered two opened, empty Nike Dri-fit bicep band packages, valued at about $8 each, according to the affidavit.

Trom reviewed video surveillance footage and discovered the items had been stolen. Trom said he observed Iverson, whom Trom identified because he was wearing a UND football jersey, open the packages, remove the items, conceal them in his pants pocket and leave the store without attempting to pay for the items, the affidavit says.

Trom said he tentatively identified Iverson from the UND football team photograph, according to the affidavit.

Iverson was booted from the program on Monday.
