Female friend arrested at Dirk Nowitzki's home

07:08 PM CDT on Wednesday, May 6, 2009
By STEVE THOMPSON / The Dallas Morning News

Dallas members of an FBI task force arrested a woman at 11 a.m. today at the Preston Hollow home of Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki.

Cristal Taylor, 37, was arrested at the home in the 10700 block of Strait Lane on warrants accusing her of a probation violation and a theft charge, Dallas police said.

The theft of service charge is from Jefferson County, Texas.

Her probation violation charge is from Missouri, where she was serving a probation sentence for two counts of forgery and one count of felony stealing, authorities said.

Taylor's relationship to Nowitzki is not clear, and he could not immediately be reached for comment.

[lefty]

Stupid cops

It wasn't Cristal Taylor, it was just Steve Nash who stopped by to say Hi

First he calls himself/his team soft, then he goes down 2-0 and then a probable lady of ill repute gets arrested at his home? :lol Not Dirk's week.

[timvp]

If you can't beat the Nuggets, might as well act like a Nugget. Now he has to kill a friend and he'd be right on track.

This is hilarious.

I'm a little surprised he lives in Preston Hollow. Of course he has the bank account for it. W, Hicks and Cuban live there.

A woman who police say is connected to Dallas Mavericks' star Dirk Nowitzki has been arrested on fraud charges at his Preston Hollow home.

Dallas police officers arrested 37-year-old Cristal Taylor Wednesday morning at Nowitzki's house on a fraud warrant. She remained in the Dallas County jail Wednesday afternoon.

The Dallas Mavericks and Nowitzki have declined a comment, but sources say Nowitzki will address the situation Thursday at the team's practice.

Sources tell CBS 11 News that a private investigator hired by Nowitzki told police that Nowitzki and Taylor have some sort of relationship, but the nature of that relationship is unclear. Nowitzki hired the private investigator to check into her background, sources say, and the investigator found that she was using an alias.

Kim Leach, a spokeswoman for the Dallas County Sheriff's Office, tells CBS 11 News that Taylor has at least eight aliases: Chrystal Ann Taylor, Crystal Ann Taylor, Debra Johnson, Shana Mancini, Krista Santiago, Crystal Ann Santiago, Cristal Westerhaus and Crista A. Westerhays.

Dallas Sheriff's office records show Taylor has an outstanding warrant for theft of service from the Beaumont area and one for a probation violation from St. Charles County, Missouri.

Sources say the FBI is also involved in this case.

The incident comes at a critical time for Nowitzki and the Mavericks, who are down 2-0 in their second-round playoff series with the Denver Nuggets.

is Preston Hollow sort of like the Dominion in San Antonio?

[DPG21920]

is Preston Hollow sort of like the Dominion in San Antonio?

x10

[CubanMustGo]

is Preston Hollow sort of like the Dominion in San Antonio?

Moreso - old money:

Prominent longtime residents of Old Preston Hollow include Dallas mayor Tom Leppert, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and its President Terdema Ussery, former Dallas Cowboys Roger Staubach and Chuck Howley, Stream Energy Chairman Rob Snyder, billionaire investors Harold Simmons and T. Boone Pickens, sports team owner (Dallas Stars, Texas Rangers and Liverpool F.C.) Tom Hicks, software developer Larry Lacerte, noted trial attorney and Democratic party fundraiser Fred Baron and ex-Dallas Mayor Laura Miller and her husband Steve Wolens (retired Texas legislator).

Former noted residents of Old Preston Hollow include the late Robert Dedman Jr., former American Airlines chairman Bob Crandall, and the late cosmetics magnate Mary Kay Ash.

Former President George W. Bush, Presidential candidate billionaire Ross Perot, Dallas Cowboys football coach Wade Phillips, and Dallas Stars player Mike Modano also live in the greater Preston Hollow area.

On December 4, 2008, the then-President George W. Bush, announced that he would be moving back into the area upon leaving office the following month. After this, the street of his occupancy, Daria Place, became gated, with 24 hour gate security for his safety.

Homes in Preston Hollow are among the most expensive in the state and have continued to increase in value in recent years. Currently houses range from $800,000 tear downs up to $40,000,000 estates.

[balli]

is Preston Hollow sort of like the Dominion in San Antonio?
IDK, but it's gated... and until very recently they full on didn't allow black people to live there. So I hope not.

[CubanMustGo]

IDK, but it's gated... and until very recently they full on didn't allow black people to live there. So I hope not.

Only parts are gated. But it is rich whitey heaven in Big D.

[Bender]

no way, you can't do that anymore...

[balli]

Seriously, until the year 2000 the only black people who were allowed in had to be servants. African-Americans straight up couldn't live there. I don't remember if they got sued over it or acquiesced to common decency on their own, but that's the way it was until 9 years ago.

[lurker]

He was actually engaged to this girl which makes it really sad. You can't trust anyone these days.

[endrity]

Damn, with all this shit going on in his life he still found time to own all the Nuggets defenders.

[Bender]

dang, that is unbelievable balli. D-Rob has lived in The Dominion in San Antonio since forever...

[Ghazi]

I'm disappointed in Dirk's tastes in women. Not particularly attractive, and 37 years old?!

Dirk Nowitzki, you're better than that

I don't think they ever actually enforced that, but I doubt black people were lining up to move in.

Dirk can do a lot better than that woman. He should stick to hot German babes.

Nowitzki Reportedly Engaged To Arrested Woman

Cristal Taylor Said To Be Pregnant
http://llnw.image.cbslocal.com/24/2009/05/07/320x240/dirkfacebook.jpg
The best friend of the woman arrested at Dallas Mavericks' star Dirk Nowitzki's house is providing more details to CBS 11 News regarding the relationship between the two.

It's a story we broke Wednesday (http://cbs11tv.com/mavericks/Dirk.Nowitzki.Dallas.2.1003168.html) on CBS11TV.com.

The friend says Nowitzki and Cristal Taylor were engaged--and that she is pregnant.
The friend, who wants to remain anonymous, says the two have been living together for over a year and he asked her to get married on New Year's Eve.
The friend also says that Taylor has no idea if Nowitzki was involved in her getting arrested and claims that they had a stable, healthy relationship until yesterday.
Taylor's friend also says Nowitzki knew Taylor had a checkered past, but adds that neither she nor Nowitzki knew Taylor had outstanding warrants.
The friend says that when Taylor was taken to the Dallas County jail Wednesday, the staff took a urine sample and told her she's pregnant. An individual who spent the night in jail with Taylor also tells CBS 11 News that Taylor is claiming to be pregnant.
Calls to the Dallas County Jail to verify the reports of pregnancy have not been returned.
Nowitzki will reportedly talk about this story following the Mavericks' Thursday morning practice. CBS 11 News has a crew there, and we'll report what he says right away.

Stay with CBS 11 News online and on television for more on this developing story.

[lurker]

I hope he knew about the possible pregnancy before this "friend" went blabbing to the news.

Another article says Dirk has not made any effort to bail her out or inquire about her status. I'd let her ass sit in jail too.

Nowitzki acknowledges ‘tough time’ personally (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-nowitzki-womanarrested&prov=ap&type=lgns)

Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki says it’s “pretty obvious” he’s going through a tough time personally after a woman was arrested at his Dallas home.

Nowitzki had little else to say Thursday about the arrest a day earlier of 37-year-old Cristal Taylor. She is being held on a theft of services charge out of Jefferson County in southeast Texas and a probation violation from St. Charles, Mo.

A Dallas County Jail official said there is no record of an attorney for Taylor.

The Mavericks trail the Denver Nuggets 2-0 in a second-round playoff series. Game 3 is Saturday.

That sucks. The pregnancy, criminal problems, engagement stuff is too personal, and too connected to real life for me to mock Dirk. :(

...I wish I didn't learn more than seeing the picture from yesterday. :lol

that's just more than I wanted to know.
I generally don't like knowing of NBA players dealing with real life problems/hardships.....



........with the exception of Kobe Bryant of course

[DPG21920]

Skank, do you not lose a little sympathy knowing that Dirk knew about her past? What kind of decision making is this?

[DPG21920]

Kid when he turns 15:
Adopted Parents: "David, we have to talk. Everything we told you was not exactly true. Your mom was a thief and a con artist and is still in jail.

David: "What, I cannot believe it, I blame my dad, he should have never choked her."

Adpoted Parents: "No no no, you have it all wrong. Your dad is really Dirk Nowitzki, I said he was a choker."

David: ":cry"

[Shank]

Skank, do you not lose a little sympathy knowing that Dirk knew about her past? What kind of decision making is this?

A bit, but it's obvious she didn't tell him everything. The bad checks, the forgery, multiple states, 8 names, asking for money, shady friends and a shady past. No way she divulged everything. It's obvious what she was trying to do.

Dirk Nowitzki having ‘tough time’ personally (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news?slug=ap-nowitzki-womanarrested&prov=ap&type=lgns)
By Stephen Hawkins

Mavericks All-Star Dirk Nowitzki offered no explanation Thursday about the arrest of a woman at his home, saying only that he is having personal troubles now.

When asked about his relationship with 37-year-old Cristal Taylor, who was arrested on a probation violation and theft of services warrants Wednesday, Nowitzki declined comment.

“It’s pretty obvious that I’m going through a tough time in my personal life right now, but like I always have, I want to kind of keep my private life private,” he said. “I’m not at the stage where I can talk about it yet and feel comfortable talking about it.”

The Mavericks trail Denver 2-0 in the Western Conference semifinals entering Game 3 on Saturday.

“I’ll be ready,” said Nowitzki, who returned with his team from Denver on Wednesday afternoon.

Dallas police said Taylor was taken into custody Wednesday morning at Nowitzki’s home. Kim Leach, a spokeswoman for the Dallas County Sheriff’s Department, said Taylor has eight aliases.

The theft charge is from Jefferson County, Texas. Bond was set at $20,000 on the theft of services charge and no bond was set on the probation violation out of St. Charles, Mo. The Dallas Morning News reported Taylor was serving a probation sentence for two counts of forgery and one count of felony stealing.

Jail records did not indicate if Taylor had an attorney.

Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said he didn’t expect this matter to affect the team.

“When you’re in NBA basketball and professional sports for a lot of years, there are a lot of distractions. … We’ll get through it,” Carlisle said. “This is a private, personal issue and I think we all need to respect that.”

Jason Kidd said the team was focused and had a great practice Thursday, its first since losing Game 2 on Tuesday night.

“I think he’s going to be fine,” Kidd said. “He’s a human being. Life isn’t perfect and you move on and learn from it. … We look for him to have a great game come Saturday.”


In a May 6 story about the arrest of a woman at the home of Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki, it was erroneously reported that FBI agents made the arrest. Dallas police officers, not FBI agents, made the arrest.

[jackseven]

My question for Dirk:

Is she or isn't she your wife?

You can have all the private life you want, but you should be able to answer this question yes or no.

If yes, game over. If no, horrible/devastating mistake but you'll hear from Dirk again.

I think Dirk is learning from Kidd, maybe Mavericks will start playing better(I don't want them too) when Kidd was on the Nets and he had some things said about him he played much better.

[CubanMustGo]

Slightly different take from the Beaumont media:

http://www.kfdm.com/news/beaumont-31636-kfdm-stevens.html

A Beaumont police officer tells KFDM News the arrest of a woman linked to Dallas Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki is a breakthrough in a four year investigation into allegations she owes a Beaumont dentist $10,000 for dental work received and still unpaid.

Dallas television station KTVT says according to a friend of Crystal Williams, 37, she is engaged to Nowitzki. The station reports Nowitzki hired a private investigator to check on Taylor's background and the investigator found she was using an alias.

Ofc. Randy Stevens with the Beaumont Police Department tells KFDM News there is a theft of service warrant for Taylor in Jefferson County. There is also a warrant for her arrest for a probation violation in Missouri.

Thursday morning Ofc. Stevens told KFDM News he began investigating a case in Beaumont in 2004 in which Taylor is accused of receiving about $10,000 in dental work from Dr. Joel Lane Smith in Beaumont. He says she used a credit card in someone else's name and never paid for the work.

Ofc. Stevens says it was difficult to confirm her identity because she used a number of aliases. He was finally able to confirm her name but investigators couldn't locate her.

"I had almost forgotten about the case," Ofc. Stevens told KFDM. "I turned on the television this morning and saw her picture and learned of the arrest. I called everyone, including Dr. Smith."

Dr. Smith told KFDM News he's elated at the arrest and praised Ofc. Stevens' work on the case.

Theft of service is a State Jail Felony. Taylor could face up to two years in jail. Bond has been set at $20,000.

Ofc. Stevens told us she once worked as a dancer at a Beaumont adult entertainment club.

KFDM News interviewed Ofc. Stevens and Dr. Smith this morning.

[Bukefal]

now its getting even more interesting :)

[Budkin]

Dude, Dirk must have no self esteem at this point. Talking about how people can shut him down in interviews, dating ugly women... I feel sorry for the guy as he's one of the only players I really like on the Mavs.

I kind of feel bad, for Dirk. Of course I don't feel bad that this is happening during playoffs though, hopefully Mavs lose, but everything stays alright for Dirk

[Ghazi]

32/10 on 55%

getting shut the fuck down!!

[ZONACAT]

Also word that he's been giving the tramp and her friend money to pay off old debt, bills, etc. Dirk would straight-up give these women thousands of dollars in cash to "help them out". Poor guy. Look, we all get he's a little simple and may be easily influenced and too trusting, but I hate to see this happen to anyone.

She's threatened his life and he's been around Cuban's guesthouse for the past couple days with security keeping an eye on him.

But a pretty close friend of his says not to worry about the guy, that he'll be alright.

Can you imagine the rebound poon this guy is going to score?

Based on Dirk's taste of women, I don't want to.

Out of all the hot ass poon in Dallas that would throw themselves at Dirk, he goes for that? Seriously confusing.

Sources: Dallas Mavericks cautioned Dirk Nowitzki about relationship with woman

06:27 PM CDT on Thursday, May 7, 2009
By BRAD TOWNSEND / The Dallas Morning News
[email protected]

Multiple Dallas Mavericks sources said Thursday that members of the organization cautioned Dirk Nowitzki about his relationship with Cristal Taylor and that he had suspicions about her long prior to her arrest on Wednesday.

While many Mavericks fans probably regard the timing as awful, with Dallas trailing Denver 2-0 in the second round of the playoffs, the team sources characterized the news and timing as "good," saying Taylor was a divisive influence between Nowitzki, his teammates and family members.

Following practice Thursday afternoon, Nowitzki declined to comment about his relationship to Taylor, or her Wednesday morning arrest at his home in the 10700 block of Strait Lane.

"It's pretty obvious that I'm going through a tough time in my personal life right now," said Nowitzki, 30. "Like I always have, I want to kind of keep my private life private.

"I really am not at the stage where I can talk about it yet and feel comfortable talking about it. I'm more than happy to answer basketball questions, but I think at this point, I just can't talk about it."

Nowitzki, with dark bags under his eyes, said he is "trying to focus on basketball as much as I can," but emphasized that he is looking forward to Saturday's Game 3 at American Airlines Center. "I'm a warrior. I'll be ready to play."

There is little doubt that Nowitzki and Taylor, 37, had a close relationship. Two local TV stations, KTVT and WFAA, cited unidentified sources in reporting Thursday that Taylor is engaged to Nowitzki and pregnant with his child.

"I'm not commenting on that," Nowitzki said, when asked about the reports.

WFAA obtained a Facebook page video that shows Nowitzki and Taylor hugging in a kitchen (http://www.dallasnews.com/video/dallasnews/hp/index.html?nvid=359328), purportedly in his Preston Hollow home. When the Mavericks hosted Phoenix in an April 5 regular season game, Taylor sat next to Nowitzki's father Joerge, who was visiting from Germany.

Taylor was arrested Wednesday morning on warrants accusing her of a probation violation and a theft charge, Dallas police said.

Although she was booked into the Dallas County jail as Cristal Taylor, an indictment from Jefferson County identifies her as Crystal Ann Taylor and lists additional aliases: Christian Julie Wellington, Christian B. Travino, Crystal Nobles, Christy Nobles, Kristi Briana Westerhauf, Cristal Taylor Westerhaus, and Christa A. Westerhays.

Earlier, KTVT-TV quoted anonymous sources as saying that Nowitzki had hired a private investigator to check into the woman's background – and that the investigator learned she was using an alias.

WFAA reported that its source said Taylor has been living with Nowitzki for about a year and that most in their circle of friends are aware of their engagement.

The Jefferson County indictment for theft of services alleges that she received dental services worth between $1,500 and $20,000, "intending to avoid payment for the service." The probation violation charge is from Missouri, where Taylor was serving a probation sentence for two counts of forgery and one count of felony stealing, authorities said.

Dark bags under the eyes...hmmm Dirk taking it pretty hard.

[Basketballgirl25]

I'm sure like every other news we hear, the whole story isn't out and isn't going to be heard

[Rogue]

I kind of feel bad, for Dirk. Of course I don't feel bad that this is happening during playoffs though, hopefully Mavs lose, but everything stays alright for Dirk
Maybe Dirk can make you feel good. If Dirk doesn't want to do it with a shitty girl like you daughter, I would be very glad to give you some help.

[monosylab1k]

This is just bizarre. Every bit of this story leaves me thinking "what the hell????"

[monoslyab1k]

Yeah it's pretty weird

[mavs>spurs2]

Yeah it's pretty weird

LOL yeah I'm still petrified over the whole thing. Seems like some ridiculous rumor that has no grain of truth. Except it's real

[mFFL03]

Good thing the Manny story is covering this up in national media....

I still can't comprehend this either. There are tons of hot women here in Dallas, there has to be at least a few you can find that are cool and that you can get along with.

From what I heard on the radio (ticket), they were engaged...when they were working out the Pre-nup documents, Dirk was having a hard time getting it together because her alias wasn't legally coming up correctly. This is what led to the hiring of the private dick.

The ticket's sources hinted at Dirk being the one whole called the cops on her when he was playing in Denver. He played that night knowing she was in jail.

Today at the news conference a "dick" reporter was shouting, "how can you leave her in jail with no bail dirk? If she is your wife, if she is having your child, why aren't you bailing her out?"

He just repeated "I don't want to comment on that....I don't want to comment on that....I don't want to comment on that."

Very...weird...stuff....going...on

Oh and on a side note, Dirk moved into Grubbes (The Ticket: Bad Radio and Hardline) about a year ago....apparently one day Dirk was in the neighborhood looking for a house for sale. Instead he saw Grubbes (parents) home, liked it, knocked on the door, asked for a tour, and made an offer.

[TheProfessor]

This is royally fucked up. I feel bad for Dirk, sounds like he got had. Kind of sad to see people reveling in it.

You guys are pathetic. No one is fucking perfect, you just throw millions of eyes on Dirk's personal life while ignoring your own shits are also not very clean. Everyone has secrets and flaws, stop feeding this pathetic thread.

It's true though! If she is the mother of his unborn child and they are engaged to be married, why is he leaving her in jail? He should at the least bail her out and then hire her a good lawyer. But no, he is leaving her to rot in jail. What a cad!

Where the fuck is your ass? If you want others to kiss it, you have got to show us it before. We are all fucking urgent to see how nice your ass looks, I guess your ass looks even more beautiful than your face. That's why your wife always kiss your ass instead of your face when you guys fuck each other.

I think that he's the coolest, nicest player I've met in the league. He obviously was in love with her. I know it's fun for many people to crack on her looks or whatever, but the guy is probably devastated. He picked a woman to share his life with and then found out her whole existence is a con and a fraud. I'm sure he's crushed.

As for the rumors that she's pregnant with his baby... if that's true, no matter what the circumstance, he should bail her out. That's his baby and its not the baby's fault the mom is apparently a loon.

I agree, it's not an every day thing to happen even in the celebrity world. Judging from this series of events in these reports with this woman, he likely does not have street smarts (or he's just one of those guys who are fine in everything but their radar for women) but we don't know everything so I might be wrong too. Sometimes shit happens to the best of us, whether from a moment of stupidity or manipulative people.

It sucks that he's in the profession he's in, and this is breaking out during a series rather than the off-season--sports fans aren't the most sensitive when it comes to personal matters. :lol


Anyway, I agree..he seems like a good guy compared to the other a-holes in the league, especially the way Fin and Nash talk about him....

I feel bad for him, because he doesn't always sound like a confident dude in his interviews. Kinda meek. Anger management problems too....yeesh. So hopefully he'll have some back up support--from friends and family, or whatever and things will work out positively, with the law, the child involvement, etc. and can rebound from the mess.

[Bukefal]

strange, strange, strange.... We should wait when dirk tells us more about this. If he ever decides to, after all it is his life, who are we to know?

Maybe Dirk can make you feel good. If Dirk doesn't want to do it with a shitty girl like you daughter, I would be very glad to give you some help.

No, his aggression results from his rebellion of puberty, he is 13 probably.

For the baby thing - I've been hearing that it's some Jerry Springer-type information, where the friend (and the source of just about everything that's coming out) is even more of a psycho than Miss Taylor, Trevino, Johnson, whatever. There's a good chance she's just saying these things to add to the mess. They very well may be true, but I'm holding off until someone else confirms it. Her group is a crazy bunch.

She can't be sprung now because one of the charges is a probation violation. So, baby or not, she'll have to sit and rot for a while. At least her 12 aliases can keep her company.

She wants to talk badly, though, and local news stations are clamoring to get the "jailhouse exclusive" with her, but Dirk's attorneys won't let it happen.

I'll also add that some of the information that's been leaking out isn't all true. This isn't something that's just happened overnight. It's been an ongoing investigation and very likely was known to Dirk and the team nearing the end of the San Antonio series at the very latest.

Dirk probably met her on the internets...

the bitch is probably full of shit. DIrk is gotta be one of the dumbest dudes I ever heard of. Even if she's pregnant 90% chance it's someone else's since she has 9 aliases.

DIrk is probably demanding DNA tests first. IMO he should also be checking his own self for STDs. Poor Dirk, he is probably crying in the shower.

Woman arrested at Nowitzki's home has a checkered criminal history

07:26 AM CDT on Friday, May 8, 2009

By BRAD TOWNSEND, REESE DUNKLIN and STEVE THOMPSON / The Dallas Morning News

Multiple Dallas Mavericks sources said Thursday that people within the organization cautioned Dirk Nowitzki about his relationship with a woman who was arrested at the star forward's home Wednesday morning.


The team sources said Nowitzki's own suspicion led him to question Cristal Taylor's past while allowing her to stay in his house. Her arrest on two warrants, stemming from a probation violation and a theft charge, occurred as the Mavericks flew back from Denver.

While many Mavericks fans probably regard the timing as awful, with Dallas trailing Denver, 2-0, in a second-round playoff series, the team sources characterized the news and timing as "good." They said Taylor had been a divisive influence between Nowitzki and his teammates and family members.

"It's pretty obvious that I'm going through a tough time in my personal life right now," Nowitzki, 30, said after practice Thursday. "Like I always have, I want to kind of keep my private life private.

"I really am not at the stage where I can talk about it yet and feel comfortable talking about it. I'm more than happy to answer basketball questions, but I think at this point, I just can't talk about it."

Taylor, 37, remained jailed Thursday night in Dallas County jail with bail set at $20,000 on the theft of services charge and no bail allowed on the probation violation. She could face an extradition hearing in the coming days.

Taylor has a history of financial crimes and numerous identities that dates back at least a decade and spans two states, records and interviews show. How much, if any, Nowitzki knew about her criminal history is unclear, but there is little doubt they had a close relationship.

When reached by phone in St. Louis on Thursday evening, Taylor's mother, Shirley, told The News she did not want to divulge details of the relationship between her daughter and Nowitzki but characterized him as a genuine, intelligent and private person. She said he had met other members of her family.

Two local TV stations, KTVT (Channel 11) and WFAA (Channel 8), cited unidentified sources in reporting Thursday that Taylor had been engaged to Nowitzki and is pregnant with his child. Sources who spoke to The News did not, or could not, confirm her pregnancy.

"I'm not commenting on that," Nowitzki said, when asked about the reports.

Shirley Taylor said she was aware of neither an engagement nor a pregnancy. She said she speaks with her daughter frequently, and has done so several times since the arrest.

"I don't know what to think," the mother said, adding that she does not believe her daughter has had contact with the team or Nowitzki since the arrest. "It's like a nightmare to me."

WFAA obtained a Facebook page video that shows Nowitzki and Taylor hugging in a kitchen, purportedly in his Preston Hollow home, valued at $6 million. When the Mavericks hosted Phoenix in an April 5 regular-season game, Taylor sat next to Nowitzki's father, Jörg, who was visiting from Germany.

Nowitzki, with dark bags under his eyes, said Thursday that he is "trying to focus on basketball as much as I can," emphasizing that he is looking forward to Saturday's Game 3 at American Airlines Center. "I'm a warrior. I'll be ready to play."

After making a brief opening statement, Nowitzki said he would take only basketball-related questions. After seven minutes of talking about the Denver series, Nowitzki abruptly ended the interview session when a WFAA reporter asked why he had not bailed Taylor out of Dallas County jail.

Criminal history

Meanwhile, new details about Taylor's past emerged Thursday.

In early 1999, she pleaded guilty to separate charges involving writing bad checks in two St. Louis-area counties.

The first case was in suburban St. Charles County. Taylor had deposited at least $600 in bogus checks with a Mercantile bank, said St. Charles County Prosecuting Attorney Jack Banas.She then went to an ATM and withdrew the funds.

"She retrieved it before they found it was forged," Banas said.

Taylor pleaded guilty to four felony counts, including forgery and stealing, and was put on five years' probation. She used the name Crystal Ann Taylor in court, with an address in St. Louis. But she went under aliases as well, Banas said.

During the same time, she was prosecuted for a similar felony in neighboring St. Louis County. She again pleaded guilty and received probation.

Records in the St. Louis County case list her date of birth as 1970, rather than 1971, and her address as Friendswood in suburban Houston. A Crystal Ann Taylor using the same details pleaded guilty to a 1994 felony forgery charge and was put under house arrest, records show.

Shirley Taylor said she was not aware of her daughter using aliases and said the Missouri offenses were old and a product of her youth.

"She was young," the mother said. "She really got herself together, [and she is] just a whole different person."

By 2000, she was reporting to a probation officer in Texas who supervised her on behalf of Missouri authorities. She picked up another charge involving bad checks, Banas said, putting her back on his office's radar. He said he was unclear where the arrest happened.

Taylor also failed to report to her probation officer after the arrest, as required as part of her sentence. The officer notified Missouri prosecutors, who then sought to revoke her probation and obtained an arrest warrant months later in 2001. She could face prison time if the judge decides to revoke her probation, Banas said.

"That was the last we heard of her until now," Banas said.

Meanwhile, Taylor was cited in Harris County for failing to identify herself to a police officer. She pleaded guilty in the fall of 2000 and was fined $200.

That was merely the first of her legal issues in Texas.

Texas run-ins

Authorities say Joel Smith, a dentist in Beaumont, met Taylor when she came in for some dental work in 2004. Smith said the woman claimed to be a student at a local school, Lamar University. She presented a driver's license with the name Christian Travino. She also presented a credit card.

"When we first ran it, it declined," Smith said.

The dental office had her call the bank, and she was able to straighten it out.

"We had quite a few conversations with MBNA about this, and they said, 'Oh, that's a mix-up. It was just the amount we were putting through,' " Smith said.

The woman was a patient there for a couple of weeks, racking up about $10,000 worth of charges, Smith said. Then the credit card company denied payment.

"We went for four or five months trying to collect the bill," Smith said, "writing letters, that type of thing, and then she sort of disappeared."

That's when the dentist went to police, providing them with a photo.

Beaumont police Officer Randy Stevens took the case. When he and other officers saw the photo, they recognized the woman as the suspect in an investigation conducted a year earlier.

"She was kiting checks, she had stolen a guy's credit card, and what we found was that she was a waitress at a local men's club," Stevens said. Shirley Taylor said she would be surprised if her daughter was an exotic dancer and said her daughter did secretarial work.

The Beaumont investigators obtained her application and other documents she had submitted to serve as an employee for a sexually oriented business. Stevens said when they returned to the station, they made a discovery.

"The driver's license was fake, the Social Security number, the names, all that was fake," Stevens said.

Officers went to an address and found a boyfriend she had been living with, he said.

"All the information he knew was fake," Stevens said. Either that or the boyfriend was lying – the investigators couldn't tell.

"It was like she didn't even exist," Stevens said. "So with that case, it never went anywhere."

But after the dentist came forward, the investigators got all the information they had collected and sent it to a regional crime information center in Nashville, Tenn., for help. The center found Taylor's arrest in Missouri.

"They sent me a mug shot of the girl," Stevens says. "I could tell from that photo that it was all the same person."

Seen at games

In 2006, after police were still unable to locate her, Jefferson County authorities indicted Taylor on a charge of theft of service in the dentist's case.

"I know that we're probably not going see any of the money," Smith says. "But I'm just glad maybe she'll be off the streets."

Stevens says he guesses other victims will come forward once they see Taylor's photo in the newspapers.

"I think there's going to be other charges on this since it came out on the news," the officer says. "She's going to be in jail for a while, I think."

Mavericks sources confirm that Taylor has been a presence at games for most of this season, Nowitzki's 11th in the NBA.

How much, if any, distraction this will cause remains to be seen. During last year's first-round playoff loss to New Orleans, teammate Josh Howard publicly discussed his marijuana use and attended a birthday party against then-coach Avery Johnson's orders.

"Obviously, very disappointing what happened in the playoffs – bad timing," Nowitzki said at the time without mentioning Howard by name. "I think in the playoffs, it's really time to focus on basketball and not let distractions come up."

Nowitzki said then that he tried to keep the team together and playing hard, "but it wasn't good enough."

Obtained in a 1998 draft-night trade, Nowitzki arrived as a 19-year-old wunderkind and blossomed into the NBA's 2006 Most Valuable Player.

Shortly before leading Germany into last summer's Beijing Olympics, Nowitzki told a German publication that he had a girlfriend. He did not reveal her name, but the admission made national news in Germany.

[Summers]

This story is going to get weirder and sadder before it goes away. Poor Dirk.

[jack sommerset]

I doubt there is a baby. She probably just said it to try to get him to get her out of jail. If there is a baby, poor bastard!!

Yikes. Thats right. He is in a world of hurt!

[Indazone]

Sounds like the typical stripper sob story. Feel sorry for Dirk but she was probably figuring she'd finally hit the jackpot and could put her troubles behind her. Wouldn't it be a twist if he married her anyways?

[ehz33satx]

Are you 12?

Why? Am I lying or making shit up? Thats your beloved Mavs team in a nutshell. L-O-S-E-R-S!

[Basketballgirl25]

Maybe Dirk can make you feel good. If Dirk doesn't want to do it with a shitty girl like you daughter, I would be very glad to give you some help.

sorry, Dirk can't make me feel good, I don't understand why people think he is cute, I know people who think he is cute and even guys say he is good looking I don't agree, but that is just me. Now Ace Enders is cute and amazing.

[endrity]

I think they said the jail performed a urine test and told her she was pregnant.

No, her friend says that, no report from the cops at all. Plus why would someone perform a urine test in prison? I don't know of any law that requires that.

[Shank]

Why? Am I lying or making shit up? Thats your beloved Mavs team in a nutshell. L-O-S-E-R-S!

Maybe he'll L-O-S-E a kidney next.

[Sense]

That explains how she met Dirk.

Which one? So I don't go to it....

I live in Beaumont.....


Good thing I haven't gone to any club here..

[Bukefal]

we dont know shit

[Findog]

Why? Am I lying or making shit up? Thats your beloved Mavs team in a nutshell. L-O-S-E-R-S!

As for the rumors that she's pregnant with his baby... if that's true, no matter what the circumstance, he should bail her out. That's his baby and its not the baby's fault the mom is apparently a loon.

I don't think we know what all the facts are. The pregnancy is just speculation at this point as far as we know. Hope he can deal with this without too many glaring eyes.

[daslicer]

I think it is easy to hate Dirk for what he's done to the spurs but come on he's already in world of pain right now. I feel for him I really do its obvious he got played by this girl. Like someone said its appearent he doesn't have street smarts considering Strippers are proffesional gold diggers. They are manipulative as hell anybody whose been to strip club can deduce that. They are only good for a booty call and thats it. I'm just shocked Dirk couldn't figure that out considering he lives in an enviroment where these women pop up everywhere he goes on the job.

Dirk had to learn the hard way but I really hope that kid isn't his so he doesn't have to deal with this gold digger.

[endrity]

Well it's probably becuse he was never that involved in this kind of environment that made it easy for him to be fooled. jokes aside, do you ever see Stephen Jackson being played by a stripper? Of course not, he would know immediately what was up. The fact that Dirk had to hire a private investigator tells you he pretty much knew nothing about her past.

[endrity]

And yes I hope she is not pregnant either. But the fact that this was a rumour spread by the woman's friend, when there is no law that requires urine test, and that Dirk hasn't bailed her out, let me presume that it might just be a big lie.

Of course I'm just extrapolating and don't know the whole story..but it's anyone's guess. But I'm going to assume by the statement about his teammates and family disapproving, that Dirk just isn't good with women. He's probably a sucker when it comes to those manipulative women. One of those "I'll do anything for you!"
dudes...I mean the fact that he was almost engaged or might have been engaged until two weeks ago, or whatever is a big tip off that he's one of those guys.



While many Mavericks fans probably regard the timing as awful, with Dallas trailing Denver, 2-0, in a second-round playoff series, the team sources characterized the news and timing as "good." They said Taylor had been a divisive influence between Nowitzki and his teammates and family members. :drunk :grim:
we 've all had those types in our cliques, friend circles...and family members have to scold their brothers, or sons..."dude, what the hell are you doing with that chick?"

yBPlr7ERzwM

There's probably truth in this old commercial. ^

[ploto]

the fact that this was a rumour spread by the woman's friend...

This woman's friend has been telling lies about her all season- hopefully, this is another lie.


the friend (and the source of just about everything that's coming out) is even more of a psycho than Miss Taylor, Trevino, Johnson, whatever.

I missed this the first time. This is what I heard a while back.

[monosylab1k]

I don't know if this has been mentioned in this thread yet, but one of the reason's Dirk hasn't bailed her out of jail yet is because he can't. Not sure of the details but one of the charges against her legally can't have a bail posted or whatever. I must seem really gangsta with my lack of knowledge on how bail bonds work.

But either way, legally Dirk has no way of bailing her out right now, even if she really is his baby mama.

This whole story just sucks. Hopefully he takes it out on the Nuggets. He may have poor judgement with women, but he hasn't killed a friend of his yet.

[ploto]

I always thought that was Dirk's wife.

I'm pretty sure that is Renee whom he dated for some time. This is her since then.

I know this type of golddigger. I used to hang out with and she's now milking an Astro's player to the tune of 20k a month to be at his beck and call. All these stupid chicks hang out together and manipulate men to get what they want. I played her straight up and she couldn't figure me out cause I saw through all her crap. If there's drama to be found just hang out with these girls. They all cover for each other and use completely stupid BS stories that are actually incredibly stupid. They are used to getting their way cause they are hot but call em out for their stupidity and they have no clue how to handle it. They make up stupid stories about relatives being sick when they don't want to do something and have a girlfriend call it in. If they smell money, they are on it like a flea to a sick dog.

It definitely is a unfortunate situation for Dirk .......... but I could only imagine the non-stop jokes that would be cracked if this had happened to a Spur. Spurs fans would never hear the end of it if this happened to TD, TP, Manu, Bowen or whoever.

[lurker]

They're saying now that she was using Dirk's credit card without his permission and that she put her ex-husband into $300,000 worth of debt. Damn, Stackhouse, you got a serious shopping addiction.

[YellowFever]

We're speculating like crazy but what I want to know is how did the authorities locate her to Dirk's house?

Is it possible Dirk himself turned her in?

He loved her.
Asked her to marry him.
Getting signals that she's not what she appeared to be.
He's having second thoughts.
Hired a PI to check into her past.
Found out that she's a crazy bitch.

I dunno....lol but that's the only theory I can come up with judging from those articles posted.

Also why was he living in Cuban's guest house?

I dunno.
Maybe he aszked the Mavs management for help and this is the end result.

Damn, the rumor mills are turning...lol.

:lol @ ploto claiming to know about the shadiness of this chickenhead for "a while".
I did not know about her criminal exploits- what I knew about were her constantly changing stories about her life and her psycho friend. Men can be clueless, but the women around their friends have all the scoop. I still have a few ties here and there.

Not when they play your team. That must...smart.

Sure your BELOVED team can beat us, albeit with a hobbled Duncan and no Ginobili, but afterwards your BELOVED team can't seal the deal and actually win an NBA Championship. It won't ever happen. Ever. Your BELOVED team is NEVER going to bring the city of Dallas an NBA trophy. Your BELOVED team is about to be swept! Sucks to be a Mavs fan.


At least the San Antonio Spurs have been to the promised land! Four times!

Multiple team sources said Thursday that people within the organization cautioned Nowitzki about his relationship with Taylor.

That sucks. The pregnancy, criminal problems, engagement stuff is too personal, and too connected to real life for me to mock Dirk. :(

...I wish I didn't learn more than seeing the picture from yesterday. :lol

that's just more than I wanted to know.
I generally don't like knowing of NBA players dealing with real life problems/hardships.....



........with the exception of Kobe Bryant of course


:lol Douchebag.

[exstatic]

Important safety tip for Dirk, going forward: run the fucking background check FIRST, not after she sponges off you for a year and runs up your credit cards.

[lurker]

She went crying to the Dallas Morning News because Dirk won't talk to her.


Cristal Taylor told The Dallas Morning News that she is pregnant with Mavericks star Dirk Nowitzki's child and that they were indeed engaged prior to her May 6 arrest at Nowitzki's home.

Speaking by telephone from Beaumont jail, Taylor occasionally broke into soft sobs. She said their engagement suddenly broke off and her life unraveled when Nowitzki's longtime German coach urged a prenuptial agreement and an investigation of her past.

"I've known Dirk for seven years – and, no, I didn't tell him everything about my past because I was afraid," Taylor said. "But, I mean, now I'm pregnant and alone and broke because he is my only source of income."

Taylor, 37, contacted a News reporter on Monday night with the help of her mother, Shirley, who set up the three-party conversation from her St. Louis-area home.

Initially, Cristal Taylor asked whether the reporter had spoken to Nowitzki and what the Mavericks forward had said about her.

Taylor said Nowitzki hasn't contacted her, directly or indirectly, since her arrest. She said she is desperate to reach out to him because she fears he has cut her off.

Nowitzki was not immediately available for comment. Privacy laws prevent access to medical records to confirm the pregnancy.

She said she also wanted to correct inaccurate media portrayals -- including several reports that she worked as a Beaumont stripper, using "Jade" as her stage name.

"I was a waitress at The Plantation," she said, referring to the Beaumont gentleman's club in which police said she worked in 2003, using the name Kristy Briana Nobles on her sexually-oriented business license application. "I was never, ever a stripper in all my life."

Taylor was asked why she hasn't tried to contact Nowitzki or Mavericks officials. She said that after she was initially taken to Dallas County Jail, she realized Nowitzki had changed his phone numbers.

"Not only that, but they [the Mavericks] pretty much told him, after you guys put out all that crap on me, to just wash his hands of me -- and I think he pretty much did," she said, her voice cracking.

She said she had lived with Nowitzki in his Preston Hollow home for a year-and-a-half. But Taylor said she doubts Nowitzki knows about her pregnancy.

"I didn't even know," she said. "Nobody knew until they tested me in Dallas."

She said she was referring to Dallas County Jail, where she was held for one week prior to her May 13 transfer to Beaumont, where she had an outstanding warrant stemming from a 2006 felony theft charge.

What compelled her to get a pregnancy test at Dallas County Jail?

"Well, they always give you a test," she said. "They give you a urine test when you walk in and they give you a T.B. test. And the lady was like, 'Oh, so when are you due?'

"I was like, 'I don't know when the court date is due.' She was like, 'Uh, no, you're pregnant.

"That was at intake. When I went upstairs, she said, 'I'm going to start you on these prenatal vitamins.' I was like, 'If you could just test me one more time, I just want to make sure."

Taylor said the second test also came back positive, and that she has taken prenatal vitamins ever since. Asked how far along her pregnancy is, Taylor said, "I'm very pregnant, about maybe four to four-and-a-half weeks."

Several times during the phone interview, Taylor's mother interrupted to remind "Crissy" that she should consult her attorney before speaking further.

In Beaumont, Taylor was given a court-appointed attorney, Donald Duesler, to handle the theft of services charge, in which she is accused of defrauding a Beaumont dentist out of more than $10,000 in dental work in 2004.

[sribb43]

She is probably saying she is pregnant to get Dirk to talk to her


"I've known Dirk for seven years – and, no, I didn't tell him everything about my past because I was afraid," Taylor said. "But, I mean, now I'm pregnant and alone and broke because he is my only source of income."


:lmao..you dont need income being in jail

[Findog]

FOUR RINGS FAGGOT!!!!!

[Basketballgirl25]

good for Dirk for kicking her to the crub, but if she really is pregnant and Dirk is the father, I hope he is a man and helps out, if not he loses a lot of respect from me, but hopfully for him she isn't pregnant

[manufan10]

"I've known Dirk for seven years – and, no, I didn't tell him everything about my past because I was afraid," Taylor said. "But, I mean, now I'm pregnant and alone and broke because he is my only source of income."

Someone needs to stop being a lazy moocher and get a damn job! Go back to stripping, being a dollar whore, whatever it was you were doing, but work.

[Ghazi]

There is no fucking God if this shit happens.

In Dirk Nowitzki we have a hard worker, a GREAT basketball player, a great human being, a renaissance man, a good Samaritan.

And what happens?

The refs fuck him out of a title, and the year after he's rewarded with a bullshit team like the Warriors hitting a bunch of bullshit 3-PT's tarnishing his legacy.

Then the 2 years after he's rewarded with mediocre supporting casts and now this bullshit?

What happened to you reap what you sowe? Apparently not. Beloved Dirk deserves better

And fuck this bitch! I hope this doesn't enable her to tap into our beloved Dirk's well earned money.

[baseline bum]

Cristal sounds like a strong candidate for 2PM shifts giving couch dances.

[Ghazi]

Oh, not to mention his ungrateful fans like mono who think so little of him that they would trade him for the Tyrus Thomases and Anthony Randolphs of this fucking world.

Dirk :(

Dirk is a nice guy, but he screwed up on this one, and it's all his fault.
If he was serious about this woman, he needed to get that background check done a lot before 7 fucking years. He probably got suckered in by this bitch, but as Mark Jackson would say: "Dirk, you're better than that".

[Ghazi]

FUCK you !

dirk is innocent!

2006 NBA fucking champs!

hey can i buy you a drink? sure! eh wait a minute, let me get a BACKGROUND CHECK on u before i buy u this drink. FUCk that shit

Crystal Taylor: Dirkie, dear, can I have some money to go shopping?
Dirk: Sure sweetie, here.
Crystal Nelson: Oh Dirk you're such a sweetie! Who loves you so much?
Dirk: You do.
Ann Taylor: Yes I do! Show me how strong you are!
Dirk: Let me show that stationary bike who's the man around here! <SMACK>
German Coach: Das bitchen has too many namen. Investigawitchz!
Linda Taylor: (Shit...) Oh Dirkie!!! Let me make wild love to you!
Dirk: Allright.
...
Dirk: Don't we have to use protection?
Crystal Blair: What for? Kobe doesn't use it.
Dirk: And how do you know what Kobe uses?
Crystal Bonaventura: Oops, errr, I read about it in People magazine. Now make me a baby!

The way he proposed to her might be the lamest thing I've ever heard. :lol He had rose petals leading to the bathroom where he was waiting for her, and he had "No Air" by Chris Brown playing.

[pking]

She dated someone higher profile than Dirk, eh? WTF is that? I wish she was spouting out some names.

The prenup was going to say that their future children get none of his money? What the hell?

"He is my only source of income" "I had 10K in my purse that Dirk had just given me"

NO AIR?! C'MON Dirk.

He has no friends with the Mavs. Very definitive statement from her. I didn't like it. It's probably true.

[lurker]

I've always thought it's been pretty obvious that Dirk hasn't really bonded with most of his teammates since Finley and Nash. The only one I've really heard of him hanging out with off the court was Jet, and that seems to have run it's course. Isolating himself from everyone except Cuban and the equipment manager is part of the reason why he pretty much sucks in the leadership department.

[monosylab1k]

LOL so suddenly Dirk is becoming the bad guy here?

That bitch already conned a few other people, how the fuck does anyone believe a word of what she's saying now? That slut is lying like a motherfucker.

If a paternity test shows that it's his kid, obviously he needs to man up. Take the baby and leave that bitch high and dry. If he never says another word to that con artist fucking cunt, good.

[exstatic]

hey can i buy you a drink? sure! eh wait a minute, let me get a BACKGROUND CHECK on u before i buy u this drink. FUCk that shit

OK, how about before she moves into his fucking house? How about before they're engaged?

:( I know con artists are good liars, but her side of the story sounds reasonable. I really, truly hope the story we've heard so far is wrong. This story continues to be weird and sad.

Actually, from listening to her side, it sounds like Dirk didn't know she was going to be arrested, but he hasn't been in contact with her. Again, she may be lying through her teeth, but Dirk needs to go see her and get to the bottom of this.

at least Dirk doesnt rape his chicks like Kobe, even if he's German.

Can we let the rape thing die already?

[monosylab1k]

I had heard there was a rift in Nash & Dirk's friendship this past offseason. Maybe this bitch is the reason why. Hopefully they're cool again.

[jack sommerset]

She shouldn't be sad. She is going to be one rich women. The next 18 years she will get a hefty child support payment. Certainly sounds like Dirk had no clue she is prego. Still WTF was he doing with that gal?

[monosylab1k]

Hopefully Dirk gets sole custody of the kid and that bitch gets nothing but a prison sentence. Anybody who is sympathetic in any way to this con artist whore must have a screw loose.

[Ghazi]

I agree.

[Bukefal]

this is sad. she is sad

[lurker]

The wrong number story is especially ridiculous. Bitch, please, you knew who you were calling. Dirk must have been very lonely to sit there and talk to some random girl who was calling him claiming she was looking for her brother. He would have been better off calling one of those chatlines or hiring a hooker.

[sribb43]

Sad situation. I hope the baby is born healthy and is raised by Dirk, since the baby's mom clearly has bad character .

Other than his having unwise taste in women, I have not heard anything bad about Dirk.
He seems like a nice guy.

[DPG21920]

Yes, this is a really bad time for Dirk. I feel for him. Part of me says Dirk should have used better judgment, but I understand how hard it can be for someone as nice as Dirk to be abrasive, especially if he is in love.

I hope this works out well.

[Crookshanks]

These superstars have access to some of the most beautiful women in the world - and he hooks up with this ugly loser? He must really have some self-esteem issues where women are concerned if he fell for her.

I sorta feel sorry for him - but man Dirk, you should've checked her out before things got that serious!
