Dirk has a house guest

Police have arrested a woman at the home of Dallas Maverick’s star Dirk Nowitzki.

According to police, they got a tip Wednesday about a woman who is wanted on fraud charges. They arrested 37-year-old Cristal Taylor at Nowitzki’s Preston Hallow home.

She is being held at the Lew Sterrett Justice Center for violating probation in Missouri and a theft of services charge in Jefferson County.

Police would not comment about the connection between Nowitzki and the woman.

What a strange story this is. Why? Because obviously, she apparantly knows Dirk. The question should be, did Dirk know her? I mean really know her?

I’m sorry but really, could Dirk do beter than this? I mean, she must really have some talent somewhere cause she darn sure isn’t much to look at.

Just another example how rich athletes make me confused about life.

 

 

UPDATE::::::: Well, well, well. It appears Dirk’s house guest is none other than his girlfriend. 

Earlier, CBS 11 quoted anonymous sources as saying that Nowitzki had hired a private investigator to check into the woman’s background – and that the investigator learned she was using an alias.

The theft of service charge is from Jefferson County, Texas. It alleges that she received dental services worth between $1,500 and $20,000, “intending to avoid payment for the service.” The probation violation charge is from Missouri, where Taylor was serving a probation sentence for two counts of forgery and one count of felony stealing, authorities said.

This can’t be good while Dirk is out of town, wondering if he will have a home when he gets back to Dallas from out of town games.

Rangers ride Saltalamacchia’s grand slam to beat M’s in 10

SEATTLE — Previously struggling Vicente Padilla baffled Seattle with perhaps the best no-decision in Texas history. Seattle’s Erik Bedard matched Padilla with continual escapes from Rangers rallies.

 Ultimately, all of that mattered less than a cruel, painful twist to a relatively unknown rookie.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a grand slam that capped a six-run burst with two outs in the 10th inning off emergency fill-in Denny Stark, and the surging Rangers took advantage of a sudden injury to Seattle reliever Shawn Kelley to beat the depleted, first-place Mariners 7-2 Tuesday.

“I think they played so many extra-inning games with Oakland [last weekend] their bullpen was a little tired,” Texas manager Ron Washington said after his team’s season-high fourth straight win.
