An associate of boxing champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been
indicted in a shooting involving a man who argued with the boxer at
a skating rink last August.
A judge in Las Vegas issued a summons Wednesday for
27-year-old Ocie Harris of Chicago to appear May 4 on attempted
murder, assault with a deadly weapon and weapons charges, three
days after Mayweather's scheduled fight with Shane Mosley jun. at
the MGM Grand.
Harris was previously arrested in Chicago and freed after
posting $7,500 bail March 6 in Las Vegas. The judge on Wednesday
increased Harris' bail to $140,000.
Police have said the 33-year-old Mayweather is not a suspect
in the shooting. A prosecutor says he isn't named in the
indictment.
But Harris' lawyer, Tom Pitaro, is accusing prosecutors of
pressing the case against Harris to try to get Mayweather.
