Floyd Mayweather Jr. Charged

[RavenSEAL]

LAS VEGAS -- Undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. was hit Thursday with three more felony charges in a domestic violence case that already had him facing a theft charge.

Clark County District Attorney David Roger significantly raised the ante in the case alleging that Mayweather hit and threatened the life of his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris, and threatened to beat two of their children during a pre-dawn argument at the woman's home a week ago.

Mayweather, 33, is one of boxing's most recognizable figures, with a record of 41-0 and 25 knockouts. The welterweight goes by the nickname "Money" and earned more than $20 million in May in one fight in Las Vegas against "Sugar" Shane Mosley

Mayweather remained free on $3,000 bail pending arraignment Nov. 9 following his arrest last Friday on a felony grand larceny charge.

Authorities alleged he took cell phones belonging to Harris and two of their children following the altercation. That felony charge carries a possible sentence of five years.

The new criminal complaint filed Thursday added two felony coercion and one felony robbery charge along with one misdemeanor domestic battery and three misdemeanor harassment charges.

Convictions on all eight charges would increase the possible penalty Mayweather could face if convicted of all charges to 34 years.

Mayweather's lawyer, Richard Wright, told The Associated Press he hadn't seen the new complaint and declined immediate comment.

Wright has previously denied wrongdoing on Mayweather's behalf.

Police initially labeled the scuffle with Harris a domestic battery case after she told police Mayweather was angry about her relationship with another man when he confronted her at the Las Vegas home where Harris and the children live.

Mayweather wanted to evict her from the house, which he owns, Harris said.

The new charges name the couple's 10-year-old and 9-year-old sons as victims of coercion, for alleged threats to beat them if they called 911 or left the apartment during the scuffle.

Under Nevada law, coercion is when a person compels or forces someone to do something they have a legal right to do.

The harassment charges allege that Mayweather threatened Harris and the two children, and the battery charge alleges Mayweather grabbed Harris by her hair, hit her and twisted her arm.

The couple had three children, now ages 7 to 10, during what Harris characterized for authorities as a 15-year relationship. She said she lived with Mayweather for seven years before separating in May.

Mayweather also made headlines earlier this month with an online video laced with expletives and racial rants against boxing rival Manny Pacquiao.

Ouch? I think the coppers just dealt this guy a 1st round K.O.
Either that or he did it to himself.

I like Mayweather, so maybe I'm bias but this is the same broad is also claimed Floyd hit her in 2007 (i think) and then when it came to the trial she dropped all charges and said it wasn't true.

I'm thinking she just wants some money. She apparently spent a few hundred thousand in a few months and also had one of her friends living in Floyd's house...I don't know I just don't believe her...and oh yea the GRAND Larceny charge is because he took her iPhone apparently which I'm sure he paid for and pays the monthly bill on. He also doesn't look too concerned in his mugshot lol:

First, he gave her the phone, it doesn't matter if he paid for it or pays the monthly bills(he could have disconnected her line). Under the circumstances it is theft/grand larceny unless she voluntarily gives it up or he had a court order to take the phone.

Second it appears it was her current legal domicile and he had no right to enter the place without written notice. Eviction takes a court order. She can do as she wishes in regards to allowing people to stay there until it is no longer her legal domicile.

Third, there are at least three eye witnesses.

Its a good chance he'll get convicted of some of the charges.

Its an even bigger chance that by time the civil case is over, she'll own the house and have a nice chunk of change in the bank. I'm sure the family courts will be looking into the issue as well.

Most likely but it'd be funny to see him going to prison.

Thats fucking retarded. So if im 18+ and my parents still pay for my phone line and they take it away, I can press charges for theft? Lolll

He took the phone which he gave her, so yes its theft. Your parents can cancel the line or sue for the phone back. They cannot take the physical phone back unless you give it back voluntarily or go through a legal process and get a court order. Simply taking the phone would be considered theft of property(criminal) and conversion of property(civil). It is unlikely criminal charges would be brought unless, 1. the phone was expensive and there was enough evidence to prove who took the phone(more than just he said she said). or 2. there were other acts committed at the same time.

I'm betting that they're just playing the media for attention. Mayweather is known to make shit up just to cause a stir.

 

[Tea Bag]

I'd think he'd try to duck confronting his ex-GF like he does when all that's left is legit competition.

This whole mess looks like BS to me.

"Under Nevada law, coercion is when a person compels or forces someone to do something they have a legal right to do."

Whistle blower laws in this case are a little out of proportion.

This is just another case of a women driving a man mad. Though I sure hope he didn't beat her up, because that is obviously inexcusable.
