Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s car found at shooting, search warrant served (8-24-09)

Las Vegas police seized two handguns, ammunition and two bulletproof vests from the home of boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. and two cars after a shooting outside a skating rink.

Search warrant documents released Thursday said one of the handguns seized Monday was loaded.

No one was hurt in the shooting, and Mayweather has not been named as a suspect by police. Police responded to the shooting at 10:06 p.m. Sunday at the Crystal Palace Skating Center, 4680 Boulder Highway.

His manager Leonard Ellerbe said Mayweather was not involved in the incident.

A detective told a judge that Quincey Williams, one of the alleged victims of the Sunday night shooting, told police Mayweather threatened him.

Another alleged victim told police that Mayweather Jr. stood next to a man who opened fire as he and Williams drove away.

Mayweather will fight Juan Manuel Marquez on Sept. 19 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on an HBO pay-per-view.

Well, after reading the police report of what took place at Crystal Palace that night, it appears to me that Floyd Mayweather is just gonna be another athlete in a long list over the past several years to have his career tarnished by an event happening in his personal life so penny-annty that probably never needed to happen....
But, I guess when one is in the limelight for so long, Ego means everything, nothing left to chance...too bad......
And then, Metro goes to his place and confinscates all that firearm hardware the day afterwords, Not good Floyd, not good....

"No one was hurt in the shooting, and Mayweather has not been named as a suspect by police."

Then what was their excuse for a warrant?? And how could the judge who signed it justify issuing it? Something rotten going on here.

Cops just want to do a ballistics test in case the other guy was telling the truth.

No problem, Floyd can get another one pretty quick. No waiting period in Nevada.
