Reports out of Ames indicates Cyclones’ star safety David Sims is under investigation for his alleged involvement of a stolen credit card. Earlier this month, a Des Moines woman reported her credit card was stolen from her son while he was in Ames. After the card was reported stolen, there were several unauthorized charges at numerous Ames area businesses.
Investigators received tips that pointed to Sims. As a result, authorities got a search warrant and searched Sim’s apartment but did not reveal if anything was found. At this point, no charges have been filed against Sims, but he is still the primary suspect in the investigation.
Sims was a star DB recruit out of Gainesville, Florida. It was anticipated in 2008 that he would play for Oklahoma but after academic issues he failed to clear for the Sooners. Sims later enrolled at Iowa State where he had a fantastic 2009 season amassing 88 tackles, 5 INTs, and 3 FFs. For his stellar play, he was named the Big 12’s Defensive Newcomer of the Year in 2009.
