Things are not starting off well for Le’Veon Bell as a member of the New York Jets, and it has nothing to do with him and football.
The New York Jets running back found himself having to contact Hollywood, Florida police after he said two female acquaintances vanished with more than half a million dollars in jewelry from his Florida home.
Via ESPN:
“Hollywood police said Bell returned from the gym May 25 and found the women gone and his jewelry missing. The police report obtained by The Associated Press refers to the two women as Bell’s girlfriends.
Bell said items in his closet were in disarray and all his jewelry was missing, including two gold chains with diamonds, a black panther pendant with black and white diamonds and a Rolex watch. The combined value of the items totals $520,000.”
Losing half a million is a lot, but doesn’t even scratch his bank account after he signed a four-year, $52.5 million deal — including $35 million guaranteed.
