Floyd Mayweather charged with eight crimes, including domestic violence

Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been charged with eight crimes, including four felonies, stemming from a domestic violence incident at his ex-girlfriend's home last week, the Clark County district attorney's office said Thursday.
Mayweather was charged with two felony counts of coercion for threatening to beat his son if he called 911 or left the home, according to the criminal complaint filed against him.


He also was charged with grand larceny and robbery for taking his ex-girlfriend's cell phone, as well as four misdemeanors -- three counts of harassment and one count of domestic battery.

 Josie Harris, the mother of his three children claims the boxer beat her, threatened to kill her, and stole her cell phone during the alleged incident on September 9

Floyd was arrested on a grand larceny charge and booked last Friday after turning himself in to Las Vegas police. All charges had been pending as prosecutors reviewed the case. If convicted on all counts, he could face as long as 34 years in prison.
