From Slamming to Slammer
Albert Belle is going to jail for violating terms of his previous bail. He's been calling the ex-girlfriend he was ordered not to contact:
Last month, the former girlfriend called police and said she was receiving hangup phone calls, Clark said. Detectives began an investigation and checked phone records, which showed the calls were coming from Belle. Last week, Belle called and spoke with the woman.
"The nature of the conversation was harassing but not threatening," Clark said.
That was enough probable cause to arrest Belle for felony stalking and violating the previous court order, he said. Clark said because Belle is accused of committing another felony while out on bond, he is ineligible for bail in the new case.
I still think My Name is Joey would be an excellent reality show.
I always thought he was menacing as a hitter, obviously didn't know the half of it.
Granted, crazy people make good reality TV, but the domestic-violence overtones here would rather spoil the fun, to put it mildly.
