KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) -- Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher told officers who found him sleeping in his car outside an apartment complex hours before he committed a murder-suicide that he was there to visit a woman he described as his ''girlfriend,'' but that she wasn't home.

The apartment complex is about 10 miles from the Kansas City home Belcher shared with 22-year-old Kasandra Perkins, the mother of their 3-month-old daughter Zoey. Belcher shot Perkins at their home Saturday morning before driving to Arrowhead Stadium, where he committed suicide in the practice facility's parking lot, police said.

Police responded to a report about 2:50 a.m. Saturday of a man sleeping in his car outside an apartment building, police spokesman Darin Snapp said Tuesday. When police approached the car, Belcher got out of the vehicle and was cooperative, Snapp said.

''We ask him 'Why are you sleeping here?', and he says he's there to visit his girlfriend, but she's not home,'' Snapp said.

In Idaho, if they find you sleeping in a car like that, they’ll give you a sobriety test.

He let me go, but still.

They need your number...More revenue...Keep those government retirement benefits coming. Pretty soon, they’ll require license plates #s on the roof of your vehicle, so the chopper can scan ya for outstanding warrants, expired registration etc...It’s all for your safety.

There’s no such thing as “Roid Rage”. More disinformation.

Know lots of them. Do you have Netflix? You should probably start your steroid education with the documentary "Bigger, Stronger, Faster". It's very well done.

Roger Ebert gave the film 3.5/4 stars, saying that it is "remarkable in that it seems to be interested only in facts."[8]
