Tom Coughlin turned two threatening letters he received last month from Herbert Alex Simpson over to the NFL, which passed them on to the FBI.

A man said to be from Philadelphia is facing serious prison time. He tried to shakedown NY Football Giants coach Tom Coughlin, claiming that the coach was involved in a sexual scene with two women, the Department of Justice said. The blackmailer was trying to seed revenge against two former co-workers.

According to the US Attorney in the "city of brotherly love," Herbert Alex Simpson, 30, was charged with criminal illegal use of the US Postal System. Simpson was hoping that authorities would link the mail to his two former co-workers and that they would be blamed and arrested. The targets have not been identified by police or attorneys.

Coughlin reported to the FBI that he received a letter on July 30, from two women who identified themselves with aliases. They claimed to have had sex with Coughlin while his team was playing The Eagles in December. Unless he paid them $10,000-$15,000 each, the women threatened to make the tryst public.

When interviewed by the FBI, Simpson owned up to penning the letters to Coughlin. Simpson said he made up the whole thing because he was seeking revenge against the two women with whom he had issues which were related to his employment. He said he never intended for Coughlin to actually read the bogus mail. He also claimed that he didn't want to the coach's family.
A U.S. Attorney said that because of the nature of the threats his office took the case very seriously.

When the jury and six alternates are seated, the prosecutors will tell them that Simpson and Stewart, his co-defendant, broke into a room in a Las Vegas hotel last Sept. and that he and four other men and forcibly stole sports collectibles peddlers which O.J. Simpson claimed were previously filched from him.

The Nassau County Police Department is looking for help finding a subject who helped commit the crime of larceny. This crime took place in Wantagh, New York located on Long Island. This fugitive is wanted by the criminal court and in need of a New York Criminal Lawyer

Back on January twenty-fifth in 2006 in the evening, a white, American male in his early twenties walked into a CVS Pharmacy, apparently with the intent to commit a crime. This particular pharmacy was located at 3491 Merrick Rd in Wantagh. When the fugitive of justice went into the store, he allegedly stole four cartons of cigarettes. The approximate value of stolen merchandise should have cost him a total of $170.

The Caucasian fugitive has short, dark brown hair, no facial hair and very light, pale skin. The video surveillance camera caught the subject wearing black washed jeans, a fur, hooded parka with a red lining, and a black shirt at the scene of the crime. The camera caught him entering the store. He left the crime scene heading towards the north. He fled by foot. To see a picture of this fugitive, click on the following link: http://www.police.co.nassau.ny.us/crimestoppers/CSU23-06.htm

The fugitive should surrender himself if confronted by police and get a New York Criminal lawyer to represent him. While it appears the charge would be a misdemeanor, a good criminal lawyer may be able to raise a reasonable doubt about his guilt because of the poor quality of the video.
and in the absense of an eyewitness the criminal charge may not hold up
