Mourning’s Home Subject Of Fbi Search
NBA
The FBI searched Alonzo Mourning’s home Tuesday and made one arrest, but the agency said the Miami Heat and former Georgetown star was not a target of the investigation.
A car and boxes of records were confiscated during the 2-1/2-hour search, but because the search warrant has been sealed, no other information could be released, said FBI spokeswoman Susan Lloyd.
Courtney McFee, a spokeswoman for Montgomery County police, said she understood from the FBI the operation was drug-related. CNN reported the search was part of an ongoing narcotics investigation.
Neighbors said Mourning, 26, lives at the posh, Potomac, Md., house primarily in the summer during the NBA off-season. He has lived there for two years, and the FBI said he shared the house with a cousin.
One neighbor said there was a big party at the house over Easter weekend. The Heat were in the Washington area to play the Bullets that Monday.
