NFL Star Rookie Golden Tate in Shady Donut Shop Debacle

Published on June 8, 2010 by

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Golden Tate had an encounter with police this weekend, but this story has a serious twist … because it all went down inside a donut shop.

TMZ has learned the former Notre Dame football star was caught trespassing inside a Top Pot donut shop in Bellevue, Washington at 3 AM Saturday morning.

Cops would only confirm that Tate was given a “trespass warning” — and was not arrested — but they wouldn’t expand on why the 21-year-old was inside the store while it was closed.

We spoke to the manager of the Top Pot shop … who said he would not be commenting on the matter. On a related note, Top Pot recently inked a deal to become the official coffee and donut partner of Qwest Field — home of the Seattle Seahawks.

Calls to Tate’s rep have not been returned.
