According to a story that appeared in the Las Vegas Review Journal today, former UFC light heavyweight champ Tito Ortiz has been tied to a murder conspiracy court case that involves a father who is accused of hiring a hitman to kill his son, who is alleged to have slept with both his father’s ex-wife and ex-girlfriend before testifying in February that his old man had used $160,000, which he fraudulently obtained through a burglary insurance scam, to fuel his crack habit.
You know a family is dysfunctional if it make’s Tito’s seem like the Cleavers.
Apparently the only reason Tito’s name got out in reference to the case is that the accused, Keith Harriman, who is petitioning to get a Nevada state appointed lawyer due to financial reasons put up a $500,000 bond to be able to leave jail and live under house arrest until the trial is over and he revealed when pressed that ”The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” fronted him the cash.
According to the report, Keith Harriman’s brother, Wayne Harriman, a used car salesman from Las Vegas, was the person Ortiz credits with mending his relationship with UFC president Dana White.
Keith’s son Dominick was shot at least nine times Aug. 27 while working at Wayne Harriman’s car lot. The shooter was never identified, but according to Keith Harriman, the hit could have been a result of his son’s sordid past and criminal history or the fact that he was was an informant for the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).
