Police Have No Record of Trouble Between A-Rod and Selena Roberts

While most would agree that publicly admitting and apologizing for taking steroids while in Texas was the best move Alex Rodriguez could have made, even if it was just an "I'm sorry that I got caught" admission, there has still been some trouble stemming from the admission. For Rodriguez, he's taken some grief about making claims that Selena Roberts was stalking him, and had even broken into his house.

Those allegations have even gotten Peter Gammons in trouble for not making Rodriguez explain the comments or at least show some proof. Though now we're finding out why Rodriguez might not have any evidence to show, because according to the police, there are no such records of anything ever happening.

Here is what Rodriguez said during the interview with Gammons, the emphasis is mine: "What makes me upset is that Sports Illustrated pays this lady, Selena Roberts, to stalk me. This lady has been thrown out of my apartment in New York City. This lady has five days ago just been thrown out of the University of Miami police for trespassing. And four days ago she tried to break into my house where my girls are up there sleeping, and got cited by the Miami Beach police. I have the paper here."

The fact that Roberts was cited by the Miami Beach police is news to the Miami Beach police, because according to them and other police departments from New York, Hoboken, N.J., and Coral Gables, Fla., they have no records of any such incident.
"I haven't been able to find anything to corroborate that she has tried to break into his home," Detective Juan Sanchez of the Miami Beach police said. "I haven't been able to find anything that corroborates the statement Alex Rodriguez made to ESPN."
Now the paper Rodriguez says he had during the interview was likely from the Miami Beach police department, but it wasn't what he claimed. Instead Detective Sanchez says they have a incident report in which police were called to Rodriguez's home to answer a security guard's question as to whether or not the island A-Rod lives on is public or private property.
"She was trying to gain access onto the island, and they had no right to stop her," Sanchez said. "It's a public right of way. She can stand in front of his house and do whatever she has to do as long as she doesn't step on his property. There's no follow-up. She was not arrested. She was not cited. It doesn't go on her record. It's not even entered into our system."
So it seems that Rodriguez has just as hard a time remembering why he called the police as he does what he took. Then again, those were loosey goosey times in Miami, so you can't really blame him.
