Ex Eagle and BYU football player Reno Mahe was arrested and charged with felony theft in Utah for allegedly playing a part in the theft of over $55,000 in gas. Mahe and another ex BYU player Tevita Ofahengaue were caught on surveillance video stealing gas from a construction site a friend worked at.
After hours, the guys would stop by this construction company and use a code to fill up their personal vehicles with gas. Police say that Mahe was specifically present for the theft over over $2,000 in fuel. For his part, Mahe claims that he didn't realize he was doing anything wrong.
"I thought you were allowed to do it," he said. "I didn't steal no gas. I don't need gas."
Mahe said then that he has met the owner of A-Core and was even asked to speak at a mission farewell for the man's grandson.
"It wasn't like I needed (A-Core's) gas," he said at the time. "I'll pay, if that's the deal. I'll pay my portion back if he wasn't allowed to give it to me. I'm not worried about that part. As a man, you pay back your debts."
I'm sure nothing felt weird about sneaking into a company after hours and filling up your car with gas for free...

Wow
Guess he no longer lives by the morality code of BYU.
Most of their athletes don’t, although it is quite amusing the disparity of black/white athletes that actually get punished for it.

Reminds me of
the story of the guy who never paid tolls. Probably bragged to his friends about how he figured out how to beat the system. Finally they nailed him, $56,000 in tolls and about $200,000 in fines fees and interest.
I believe Mahe just thought he was cutting a corner, jobbing the man in a clever way that didn’t feel like stealing because he didn’t wear a mask and use a gun. But as is obvious to anyone, when you get something for free others have to pay for, there’s probably something going on. As a (semi)pro-athlete, I’m sure Mahe is used to getting for free what others have to pay for, but this time the one giving it to him didn’t actually own it, so it was theft, clear and simple.

What a moron
we used to do gas runs in high school when we were drunk and bored. 15yrs ago. These clowns probably carry hundreds of dollars in their pants but felt like they could just pay if they were caught. Nope. Felonies for all of them.

Dumbass..
Defensive player of the year for 2011 is...
Wild_Eagle!
Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

nobody rides for free. Guess Reno never learned that at BYU.

The second the cops touched him he dropped to the ground like he did on returns.
I'm not drunk I'm just drinking.
he looks like a fatter, darker version of John from John and Kate.

Can anyone explain the $ 4,563,250 Cap value for 2007? seems exceptionally high for a waste of roster space like Reno!
