Rachel Myrtil earned national notoriety in October, 1999, when she was involved in a department store discount scam involving Florida State University football players Laveranues Coles and Peter Warrick. Myrtil was charged with letting Warrick and Coles buy $412.38 worth of clothing for $21.40. An off-duty officer saw what happened through a surveillance camera, according to police. Warrick, Coles and Myrtil were arrested for grand theft. Mrtil pleaded no contest to grand theft and was sentenced to two years' probation, 10 days on a county work program, ordered to pay $308 in court costs and stay out of Dillard's department stores.
The incident resulted in Laveranues Coles being kicked off the Florida State football team, and Peter Warrick being suspended for two games. Warrick, at the time of the incident, was considered to be a front-runner for the Heisman Trophy.
