I don't post about many female athletes. Here's a Brazilian boxer, who now lives in Switzerland, that is accused of killing her husband. They got married this year. The article incorrectly mentions Sweden but Interlaken is indeed in Switzerland. The author even misspelled Interlaken.

Golden Girl Viviane Obenauf.

153664


Viviane Obenauf spent her boxing career facing the best competition in her weight division, though is now in for the legal fight of her life.

The former two-division challenger was arrested and remains in custody of Swiss police as part of an ongoing investigation surrounding the death of her 61-year old husband, who is only identified as “Thomas” due to Swiss protection law. In a shocking development first reported by the Daily Sun, Obenauf’s husband was found dead earlier this fall as the result of “massive injuries due to blunt instrument” according to a police report, a copy of which has been obtained by BoxingScene.com.

Obeneauf—who was arrested earlier in the week—remains the prime suspect, with suggestions of having beaten her husband to death in their apartment in Interlaken, Sweden.

Not content with DUIs and domestic abuse, these out of control athletes have been upping their game lately.
A former Chicago Bears All-Pro cornerback has been arrested in Phoenix on a murder charge, police sources said.

Michael Richardson, 59, who won a Super Bowl with the Bears in 1985, was arrested Wednesday on a second-degree murder charge in connection with the Tuesday shooting death of 47-year-old Ronald Like

Wednesday’s arrest is the latest in a string of legal troubles for Richardson. He had been previously busted twice this year by Phoenix cops for alleged drug possession and was arrested in Maricopa County in 2018 on charges of theft and possession of meth, crack cocaine and heroin,

ESPN reported that Richardson was released from custody and had a 13-year prison sentence cut by more than 10 years after a California appellate court determined he did not violate terms of his probation in a 2008 conviction for selling narcotics.

The incident led to Richardson’s 21st conviction on drug-related charges at the time — and his fifth felony in 16 years,

Typical day in the life of an NFL player. Speeding, outstanding warrant, expired driver's license, dope and unregistered gun on the buffet for Steeler's Justin Layne. Justin's nickname should be "Life in the Fast".

Steelers cornerback Justin Layne was arrested Friday on a gun charge in Ohio but police video of the traffic stop obtained by TMZ includes a handcuffed Layne in the backseat of the police car saying, “They acting like I got some drugs. I got one blunt!”

Tylan Jones - Looks good in a suit. But will now be wearing a prison jump suit.

A UAB Blazers defensive lineman has reportedly been arrested on a charge of third-degree domestic violence.

Tylan Kiere Jones, 21, was reportedly booked into Blount County Jail in Oneonta, Alabama on Wednesday night.

Jones is being accused of several acts of violence against his now ex-girlfriend, who claimed to have been dating Jones for four months. The report states that Jones allegedly choked, hit and threw the 21-year-old woman to the floor multiple times over the past month.

The reports only get more disturbing from there. The UAB junior was accused of kicking the woman in the head with boots on, smothering her with a pillow and beating both of their dogs until they couldn’t move.


At one time, Jones allegedly threw a kitchen knife at the woman, which stuck in her leg. “He then pulled the knife out and told her he would kill her if she told the police,’’ the police report said.

Angie. There ain't another woman that comes close to her. Or in this case close to him.

Jerry Smith. Not to be confused with the Redskin's former tight end with the same name.

A suspended Virginia Tech linebacker accused in the fatal beating of a Tinder match has been indicted on a charge of second-degree murder.

Isimemen Etute, 18, who is accused in the death of Jerry Smith, who was 40, in May, was indicted by a grand jury Tuesday, The Roanoke Times reported. A hearing is scheduled for Nov. 18.

Etute said he visited Smith's apartment in April after he was matched with someone named "Angie" on Tinder and returned May 31 to determine whether his match was male or female, attorneys and witnesses said at earlier hearings. A detective testified that Etute groped Smith and used his phone's flashlight to get a better look in the dark apartment before repeatedly punching the victim.

Felony trifecta for NFL nitwit.

This kid scored a 20 on his NFL wonderlic test. 20 indicates average intelligence. So he isn't a true illiterate dumbass. Just an average dumbass.

The dead woman survived the crash. But she was burned alive, screaming the entire time, while good Samaritans tried to free her before being driven back by the smoke and flames.

Former Raiders wide receiver Henry Ruggs III is facing two additional felony charges as well as a misdemeanor following his involvement in a fiery car crash early Tuesday morning that left a 23-year-old woman and her dog dead and Ruggs and his girlfriend injured, according to court records.

Ruggs, 22, initially faced being charged with felony driving under the influence resulting in death and reckless driving after prosecutors said he was driving 156 mph and had a blood alcohol level more than twice the legal limit in the state of Nevada.

Prosecutors now have decided to charge Ruggs with additional felony counts of DUI and reckless driving due to the injuries suffered by his passenger, girlfriend Kiara Je'nai Kilgo-Washington, who also goes by Rudy Washington. The misdemeanor charge is possession of a firearm while under the influence, stemming from a loaded gun found in Ruggs' car at the scene.

Las Vegas Raiders cut player that made death threat video. He wasn't actually charged with any crime yet. But this is the face of domestic terror. If this guy doesn't clean up his act, he most likely will find his ass sitting in a jail cell.

X-NFLer Josh Bellamy - Major league fraud

At least this gud didn't physically harm anyone.

Former NFL player Josh Bellamy has been sentenced to three years and one month in federal prison for fraudulently obtaining over $1.2 million in COVID-19 relief funds.

Bellamy, 32, of St. Petersburg, Florida, was sentenced Friday in Tampa federal court, according to court records. He pleaded guilty in June to conspiracy to commit wire fraud. Besides serving prison time, Bellamy must also pay restitution.

Bellamy obtained a Paycheck Protection Program loan of $1.2 million for his company, Drip Entertainment LLC, using falsified documents and false information. Bellamy admitted to using the loan proceeds on personal items, such as jewelry and a stay at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Bellamy also sought loans on behalf of his family members and close associates.
Bellamy also told investigators that he paid more than $311,000 to an alleged co-conspirator, James Stote, as a kickback for his assistance in preparing and submitting the fraudulent loan application, prosecutors said.

Southeast Jerome - AKA Clinton Portis - Medical Fraud.

This guy earned $43.1 M during his football career. He squandered it all. He declared bankruptcy in 2015, listing debts of $5M.

Former NFL running back Clinton Portis has been sentenced to six months in prison, with an additional six months of home confinement, after pleading guilty to defrauding a health care program for retired players.
Portis, who played nine seasons in the league for the Broncos and Washington Football Team, pleaded guilty in September for defrauding the program of nearly $100,000, filing false claims for medical equipment.
Fifteen players have now pleaded guilty to participating in the $3.4 million scheme, including former Saints receiver Joe Horn – who was sentenced to three years probation – and former Eagles running back Correll Buckhalter, who received 10 months in prison.
