The prosecutor's office or police collected evidence on Elmostafa that included his insurance and driving history, several years' worth of drug tests -- all of which were negative -- and a criminal record check.

By the end, ie last three paragraphs, of that N&O article on the cabbie's court date packs a punch:

The case against Elmostafa is at least the second time in which a witness involved in the lacrosse case received personal attention from Nifong.

The second woman hired to dance at the party was arrested on a probation violation immediately after she gave a statement to investigators. Nifong personally signed paperwork that changed Kim Roberts' bail status, which freed her from having to pay a $1,875 balance to her bail bondsman.

Nifong said the change was routine and denied it had anything to do with the lacrosse case.
