OJ Simpson ex-girlfriend jailed

A former girlfriend of O.J. Simpson has been jailed on charges of stealing pain medication from a patient.

Authorities say 37-year-old Christie Michelle Prody, of Moorhead, was an in-home nursing assistant for a Moorhead man whose wife noticed that nearly 300 tablets of his oxycodone were missing two months ago. According to court documents, the wife installed a surveillance camera that recorded Prody stealing other pills last week.

The Forum newspaper reports the video allegedly shows Prody stealing morphine and lorazepam. Court records say she told investigators she took the pills because she's addicted.

Prody was charged Monday with six counts including burglary, theft and drug possession. She remained in jail Tuesday and did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press seeking comment. Her public defender declined comment.
