Woman arrested in connection with stolen vehicle from George Foreman estate
A car was reported stolen from the late George Foreman's estate, and a woman was arrested on Monday after she was found driving the vehicle.
Police during a traffic stop Monday in Texas recovered a Mercedes SUV reportedly stolen from the estate of heavyweight boxing legend George Forman.
Officers stopped the vehicle in the Houston area after finding its license plate number in a stolen-vehicle database.
The 31-year-old driver, identified as Heaven Leigh Platt, was taken into custody on an outstanding felony warrant for the burglary of a coin-operated machine. As of Tuesday afternoon, Platt had yet to be charged in connection with operating the stolen vehicle. Her bond is set at $10,000.
It is not known when the vehicle was reported missing, according to FOX 5 DC.
Foreman died in late-March at 76. He was an Olympic gold medalist and world heavyweight champion.
He later reportedly sold over 100 million George Forman grills and returned to boxing in his mid-40s.
His estate includes his Texas mansion and his business empire.
