Maybe O J needs a roomate?! MAYWEATHER out of control.

Mayweather arrested for grand larceny

Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been booked on charges of grand larceny related to Thursday's domestic violence incident against an ex-girlfriend, Las Vegas police confirmed Friday.

He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center at about 10:45 a.m., police said.

The charge stems from personal items Mayweather took from ex-girlfriend Josie Harris' house Thursday morning. Police have not arrested Mayweather for domestic violence because the charge is a misdemeanor and the alleged crime happened more than 24 hours after the arrest. Police will submit that case to the District Attorney's office.

A temporary protection order filed by Harris, who has three children with the boxer, says he punched her in the head, pulled her hair and tried to break her arm after entering her home as she slept.

Harris said Mayweather "let himself in" to her home in the 3800 block of Tropical Vine Street at about 2 a.m. and began searching through her belongings.

After she confronted Mayweather, he accused her of dating another man, she wrote in the report.

"He would 'have me and my guy friend taken care of,'" she said Mayweather told her.

Harris called Las Vegas police and officers escorted Mayweather from the home about 3 a.m., she said.

Several hours later, Mayweather returned to the home, knocked on their son's bedroom door and asked to be let in.

Harris, who was sleeping on a couch, awoke to find Mayweather standing over her, she said. Mayweather pulled her off the couch and began assaulting her in front of their children, she said.

Harris said she told the children to call 911 or run outside to get help, but Mayweather said "if they ran or tried to call the police he would beat them the same way," she said.

Mayweather followed the children outside and Harris fled to the garage, she said. Mayweather yelled he was going to kill Harris and her boyfriend and "make sure we are taken care of," she wrote. He then fled the residence in his car.

Harris said Mayweather also visited her home a week and a half before the incident and threatened her about a new boyfriend. Police were called, but Mayweather had left the home before officers arrived, she wrote.

After the incident she was taken to Southern Hills Hospital and Medical Center, where she was treated and released for minor injuries.
