Who would want to steal Kelly
Osbourne's knickers? Well, according to Sharon Osbourne, the maid did
it -- and "CJ" has learned the family's former maid, Juana Zavala has,
in fact, been arrested by Beverly Hills Police for allegedly staging a
panty raid and stealing jewelry from the family.
According to published reports, Zavala allegedly made off with Kelly
Osbourne's $800 Chewbacca "Star Wars" ring, $630 worth of sheets and
towels, and a diamond ring belonging to Osbourne daughter Aimee worth
more than $32,000. Not mention the stolen panties. Sheriff's department
documents show Zavala has been cooling her heels in a Los Angeles
County Jail since late September, unable to post the $400,000 bail.
The alleged theft occurred months ago, but the accused maid only
appeared in court last week.
The maid's husband, Jamie Zavala, reportedly claims that Sharon
confronted the woman and pulled her hair. Sharon denies that, but it
wouldn't be the first time Sharon defended her stuff. About a year and
a half ago, Sharon got banged up pretty bad during a confrontation in a
trendy LA restaurant, in a dispute over another pricey piece of
jewelry. Sharon said at the time, "It's not like, 'why me' or 'poor
me.' But I'm pissed off."
In the latest incident, Sharon says she's confident the matter will be
handled properly by the DA's office.

Victims of theft: Trial participants become targets of maid service burglaries in Belleville. By Tesa Culli Mt. Vernon City Editor MT. VERNON — A member of the Jefferson County State’s Attorney’s office and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office found out what it is like to be a victim when some of their belongings were stolen while working on the Cecil Sutherland trial in Belleville. Sandy Edmison, who works with crime victims and prosecution witnesses for the State’s Attorney and detective Capt. John Kemp had to fill out theft reports with the Fairview Heights Police Department during the first week of May. Edmison said she discovered an expensive necklace and diamond earrings were missing from their hiding place in her room at the Drury Inns and Suites in Fairview Heights. After telling co-workers that the items were missing, Kemp discovered he was missing a large bottle of cologne, he said. A maid at the hotel has been fired in relation to the incident, Edimson said. "It’s my understanding that she was a fairly new maid at the hotel," Edmison said. "After she started working there, things started coming up missing." Edmison and Kemp were only two of several hotel guests whose belongings were missing, she said. "We’ve been treated well at the hotel," State’s Attorney Gary Duncan said. "Within any public accommodation there might be one employee who is not doing their job or doing it right. The other employees there have done a good job." Duncan said the prosecution team is not focusing on the thefts, but on doing their jobs during the trial, which is being held in Belleville on a change of venue due to pretrial publicity. Duncan, several employees from the Jefferson County State’s Attorney’s office and two attorney’s from the Illinois Attorney General’s office who are working on the case are staying in Fairview Heights while the trial is going on. Both Duncan and the Cecil Sutherland defense team have opened offices in Belleville for the duration of the trial. |
