Cops say they responded to a complaint that Winston stole the food around 10pm Tuesday night.
Investigators went to Winston’s home … where he said he “forgot” to pay … but made no effort to return to the store to pay.
Winston was NOT arrested, but given a “pre-arrest civil citation” — and is required to complete 20 hours of community service.
