Former Figure Skating Champ Nicole Bobek Arrested

Another figure skater is facing legal trouble.

Former U.S. figure skating champion Nicole Bobek has been charged with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in Hudson County, New Jersey.

Bobek, who won the women’s U.S. figure skating title in 1995, was arrested last week in Florida and brought to New Jersey to appear in Central Judicial Processing Court via videolink Monday from the Hudson County Jail in Kearny, N.Y.

The 31-year-old, who has homes in New York and Jupiter, Fla., is accused of being involved in a northern New Jersey drug ring.

According to Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio, “She played a significant role in this operation. She was actively involved in the upper echelon of this ring.”

DeFazio added that the crimes of which Bobek is accused took place in New York and that twenty other individuals were arrested in connection to the drug ring.

Bobek’s attorney, Sam DeLuca, entered a not guilty plea for the former skater, and she was held on $200,000 bail.

Bobek faces up to 10 years in jail if she is convicted.
