Roger Mayweather Jailed For Felony

Written By William Trillo
Roger Mayweather, who was barred from training fighters in Nevada now finds himself barred from freedom all together in Nevada after being found guilty of battery with substantial bodily harm -- that's a felony folks!
No, this does not stem from the incident in the ring on April 8th, when an irate Roger charged into the ring to defend his nephew Floyd Jr. after he was hit with a blatant low blow by Zab Judah. For that transgression, Mayweather's license to work fights was revoked for at least one year by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
This stay in the Gray Bar Motel stems from an incident on July 17, 2005. During this felony attack Mayweather was involved with 3 woman, one of whom ended up with a couple of broken front teeth thanks to the "Black Mamba", that being the grandmother of his child!
Say what?
Okay, let me see if I can explain. According to police, Roger went to the apartment where Kimberly Pearson, 20, with whom he has a son lives with her mother, Laurelle Haskins, 45. For some yet to be explained reason Daddy Roger was upset about the presence of a third woman, Jennifer McDaniel, 30.
Grandma Haskins testified that while she was trying to remove Mayweather from the premises the exchange got a bit heated and when he pulled away she fell to the ground.
Both Haskins and McDaniels once again came to the defense of Pearson and began slapping Daddy Roger on the face and scratching him. Papa's response was to haul off and cold cock Granny in the chops, cutting her lip and busting the 2 lower front teeth in her mouth, broke 'em right in half.
Seems McDaniels was also punched, but she refused to press charges claiming she is afraid of Roger. No kidding!
Maywether was tried Sept. 11 before a jury that deliberated for less than one hour before convicting him. He has been held at Clark County Nevada Detention Center since he was sentenced Sept. 19 by Eighth District Judge Stewart Bell.
Mayweather is eligible for release March 19, 2007, pending a Tuesday hearing on a motion to reduce sentence.
And oh yeah, Roger could have more answers to provide by then. He still faces a Nov. 22 trial in Las Vegas stemming from a 2004 aggravated stalking charge.
Looks like the former champ may have some anger management issues that hopefully he will seek help for while he is spending his 6 months ( or more) in the hole. Floyd Jr., meanwhile, had hoped to have Roger train him up to the fight, then using other members of his team to work his corner. Now he won't have Roger around to help. What affect that will have on his Nov.4 fight with Carlos Baldomir remains to be seen.
