NFL player's non-cooperation sees theft charges dropped against woman who stole his jewelryTheft charges against Subhanna Beyah were dropped after her victim, New York Giants' Shaun Rogers, refused to cooperate with the authorities. Jonathan Meltz, Beyah's lawyer in Miami, could not be contacted to comment on the issue. Miami prosecutors believed that Beyah did to Rogers what she did to two other men, wherein she drugged them before stealing their valuables. According to the police, Rogers had met Beyah at the nightclub of the hotel where he was staying. Together with another couple, they had gone up to his room where he went to sleep while the others were partying. Before he went to sleep, he put his jewelry inside a safe in the room. When he woke up, Beyah was already gone and so was his jewelry worth almost $500,000. Rogers had told the prosecution that he was not willing to cooperate during the one time he spoke with them. Despite the failure of the theft charges to prosper, the prosecution instead will go ahead with charging Beyah for violating her probation wherein she is looking at a 20-year prison sentence if convicted. |
