Falcons receiver White says man has his jerseys and wants $10K to

Atlanta Falcons Pro Bowl receiver Roddy White said a man he asked to frame three of his football jerseys took them and won’t give them back -- unless White pays $10,000.

White told Channel 2 Action News he agreed to pay the man $400 for each of the framed jerseys. The man took the jerseys -- two regular season Falcons game jerseys and a Pro Bowl one -- and now is asking for $10,000.

White filled out an application for an arrest warrant in Gwinnett County on Thursday, Channel 2 said. A judge will hold a hearing to decide whether a warrant should be executed.

White set Falcons team records in 2010 for receptions and receiving yardage. He also led the league in receptions.
