(CBS4 News) SOUTH BEACH An arrest warrant is expected to be issued today for NBA basketball star Juwan Howard.

Miami Beach police told our news partners at The Herald that they’ll seek a warrant for Howard’s arrest Thursday.

Howard, a former Heat player who now plays for the Houston Rockets, is accused of stealing an expensive pair of sunglasses from a South Beach store.

The owner of the Eye Q Optical at 760 Ocean Drive says Juwan Howard took off with a pair of Cartier sunglasses worth almost $2000 from his store. He says the incident was caught on surveillance camera, though he is not allowing the media to view the tape yet.

Miguel Rodriguez, a salesperson at the store was originally fired by the owner after the pricey glasses went missing, but after reviewing the surveillance tape, the owner realized it was Howard who had taken them. To make matters more disturbing for the employees, Howard is known to them as a regular customer at the shop that is frequented by many celebrities.

The management of the store did file a police report with the Miami Beach Police Department.

Howard, who owns a condo on Brickell Key and a home in the Coral Gables area, is reportedly in Houston.

Not sure if they should be sharing any tips or tricks with each other as neither one seems to be very good at it.
That was kinda the point I was hinting at...

Wow you guys are quick to judge. Maybe he accidently took them out and forget he had them. We really don't know what ACTUALLY happened so lets not judge the guy.

Yeah, completely stupid thing to do. The guy is completely stupid because he was caught doing drugs or marijuana or whatever it was? I think it was with c-webb.. but im not sure if webb is guilty. :confused:

No, as I recall that marijuana thing with Webb from early in his career was Webb alone (had it in his suitcase in the caribbean or something?).

I do remember some false rape charge some woman made up against Howard and Webb, but it was dropped as baseless within about 24 hrs. Not actually sure Juwann has ever had any real legal problems before. But haven't followed his career close enough to be sure.

It wasn't actually Webb alone. It was Webb and his girlfriend. And even though she ALWAYS maintained it was her weed and not his, he got the blame.

I questioned it, not because I didn't think Webber smoked pot, but that I just thought he was probably smart enough to know NOT to put it in his luggage.

Yeah. I'm sure that's the story he'll try and tell them.

They looked at surveillance tapes. I'm guessing they're pretty sure it's theft and not just "Oops. I forgot I had them..."

Had they thought it was accidental don't you think they would have contacted Howard and given him a chance to pay for the glasses?

Forgot he had a $2000 sunglasses in his hand? Well, maybe it still there lying around in his car, someone ought to call him up and remind him to give it back before the warrant is issued. ;)
