Cops: Ohio Woman Suspected in Theft of LeBron James Pendant

Filed under: Heat

WADSWORTH, Ohio (AP) -- A woman who tried to sell a $10,000 pendant stolen from a LeBron James business partner is a suspect in the case, police said.



The police incident report obtained Friday identified Vaneisha Robinson, 19, of Akron, as a suspect in the receiving stolen property investigation but didn't elaborate. No immediate arrests were made and police didn't immediately return calls Friday.



The white gold diamond-studded pendant is in the shape of James' basketball jersey. Maverick O. Carter, the CEO for James' marketing company, says it was stolen from him three years ago.



Robinson, an amateur boxer, said she bought it four years ago for $5 at a yard sale, recently got it appraised and put it for sale on eBay. She was on TV in Cleveland on Tuesday discussing her surprise at its value.
