Shaw should just come clean, it was a great story, but it is unraveling and the best he can do now is throw himself on the mercy of the court ie, the media and USC.
Here are the latest details via TMZ.
Here’s the breakdown — we’re told someone called police to report a suspicious person “shimmying” down the side of a building in downtown L.A. near the USC campus. The tipster gave a description of the suspicious person to police.
We’re told cops went to the building to investigate — and spoke to a woman who lived in the building. Cops gave the woman the description of the suspicious person and asked if she had seen anyone who matched the description.
We’re told the woman said, “Yes, that sounds like my boyfriend Josh Shaw.”
Cops took a “burglary report” — even though nothing was reported stolen — and in it, mentioned the connection to Shaw.
Cops later spoke with Shaw on the phone and the USC football player denied ever being at the building.
Looks like something caused Shaw to not want to leave his girlfriend’s apartment through the front door, we are still working on the details of why. There is a rumor it was a domestic violence incident, but that hasn’t been confirmed.
But, the story about him heroically jumping from a balcony to save his nephew appears to be a lie.
