Harding's ex-husband arrested
The Associated Press
PORTLAND, Ore. — Tonya Harding's ex-husband was arrested yesterday in the alleged plot to injure Olympic rival Nancy Kerrigan, and authorities released an affidavit with statements linking Harding for the first time to the Jan. 6 attack.
Harding's bodyguard said the ex-husband told him that the skater had made phone calls to determine Kerrigan's practice schedule, according to the affidavit.
Harding has not been charged and has denied involvement. Olympic officials have said Harding would be removed from the team if she is implicated in the attack.
Jeff Gillooly, who also has denied involvement in the attack, surrendered at the FBI office in Portland. He was charged with conspiracy in a warrant issued Tuesday, the same day authorities questioned Harding for 10
1/2 hours.
Harding divorced Gillyoo in August, later resumed living with him, but said Tuesday that the two were separating again.
Three other people have been charged in the attack so far. Harding's bodyguard, Shawn Eckard, is charged with conspiracy and is free on $20,000 bail. The alleged "hit man," Shane Minoaka Stant, arrived from Arizona on Tuesday for arraignment yesterday on conspiracy and assault charges.
Derrick Smith, who has admitted driving the getaway car, is charged with conspiracy.
Eckardt and Smith have both confessed to their roles, the affidavit said. The original plan was to assault Kerrigan in the Boston area where she lives, the affidavit said. When that failed, the plot shifted to Detroit, where the Olympic trials were being held.
According to the affidavit from Multnomah County Deputy James McNelly:
— Eckardt said Gillooly told him that Harding had made two telephone calls in an attempt to determine Kerrigan's practice schedule in Boston.
— Gillooly's bank records show that he withdrew $9,000 in three separate transactions between Dec. 27 and Jan. 6.
— Eckardt made wire transfers to Smith.
— Stant traveled to the Boston area Dec. 29 and stayed until Jan. 3.
- Telephone records show that Stant placed a call Jan. 1 from his hotel room to the rink where Kerrigan conducts her practice sessions.
— Smith said Stant had been unable to carry out the assault in Boston so he traveled to Detroit a week before the national championships. Smith said Stant had assaulted Kerrigan after a practice session.
- Stant moved to a hotel in Romulus, Mich., on Jan. 4. He received a phone call there. Jam. from Gillooly and Harding's home phone in Oregon.
Harding said little when she emerged from the session with the FBI and district attorney late Tuesday. Asked whether she had anything to say to her fans, she said in a trembling voice, "Please believe in me."
— Smith admitted driving the getaway car after being paid $2,000 by Eckardt.
In a statement issued through her lawyers, Harding said: "I am innocent, and I continue to believe that Jeff is innocent of any wrongdoing.
"I wish him nothing but the best, but believe during this crucial time of preparation for the Olympics that I must concentrate my attention on my training."

Before Tuesday's meeting, FBI representative Bart Gori said federal charges against Harding were "possible at this point but remote."
