IRVING, Texas — Dallas Cowboys backup running back Joseph Randle's Monday arrest for shoplifting will cost him a significant fine in the range of $29,117, the amount the second-year back earns per week on his scheduled $495,000 base salary this season.

Randle was charged with a misdemeanor Class B theft of $50 to $500, according to Frisco, Texas, police, for shoplifting a tester bottle of cologne and a two-pack of underwear at a suburban mall.

A fifth-round pick in 2013, Randle met Tuesday with Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones and coach Jason Garrett, and Jones told USA TODAY Sports "significant discipline'' was imposed on Randle, who rushed for a season-high 52 yards on five carries in Sunday's 30-23 win against the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks.

Jones said significant discipline would not include a suspension.

"It'll be a major fine -- game-check range, and he'll do some other things that go with it: community service and things like that we'll want him to do – significant discipline,'' Jones said during a sit-down with USA TODAY Sports on Wednesday. "Unfortunately, that's why he fell a little bit in the draft, just a little bit of the off-the-field stuff.

"He doesn't necessarily make the best decisions. And he made a bad one there. He understands.''

Randle said Wednesday he addressed his teammates and apologized.

"It was hard coming back in the locker room looking people that care about me in the eyes knowing I did something stupid," Randle said. "I can't just go like nothing happened. I had to address the issue. It was time to move forward so it's not a distraction moving forward. We're playing our rival team, the Giants, this week. That's what we're trying to focus on."

Randle, who ranks second on the Cowboys with 113 rushing yards, will have to earn his way back into the organization's good graces.

"I don't think this is the norm for him,'' Jones said. "He's come a long way in a couple of years. He'll be a good person and a good face for the organization ultimately. It was a good learning experience for him.''

Randle said he has never been in this kind of trouble before.

"I'm just trying to take full responsibility and really just move on from it," he said. "It's the biggest mistake I've ever made in my life. ... I've never been in any kind of trouble in my whole life. This is just something I have to learn from and move forward.''

Randle also said his teammates were supportive after he apologized.

"They know people mess up. I really made a big mistake," he said. "I know there's big-time consequences to pay in life. I disappointed a lot of people who really care about me like my brothers on the team, the coaches around here, this whole organization, people who have supported me. My family, my dad, I let a lot of people down.

"And I'm really trying to do my best to make it up to them, do whatever I have to do to get past this."

Garrett spoke about Randle's situation Wednesday with reporters.

"He took full responsibility for it,'' Garrett said. "There were a lot of circumstances that were surrounding the situation but there are no excuses, no explanations for this and he took full responsibility."
