Chiefs’ LB mentioned other ‘girlfriend’ to police

Associated Press

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Police say Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher spent some of his final hours sleeping in his car outside the home of another woman whom he described as his “girlfriend.”

Police spokesman Darin Snapp said Tuesday that the woman’s apartment complex was about 10 miles from the home where Belcher shot and killed the mother of his 3-month-old daughter, 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins. Belcher then drove to Arrowhead Stadium and killed himself in front of team officials.

Snapp says the officers who found Belcher sleeping in his car around 2:50 a.m. Saturday determined that he didn’t have any outstanding warrants. He says Belcher made a phone call and that a woman let him into the building a few minutes later.
