Nicole Bobek Meth Arrest; Bobek Busted in Methamphetamine Ring (Video)
The Nicole Bobek meth arrest is making headlines, but do you even remember figure skater Nicole Bobek… and why was she busted in a methamphetamine ring?
Nicole Bobek’s meth arrest looks like another story of a fallen celebrity or athlete – Bobek won the 1995 U.S. championship, but seemed to disappear from the spotlight thereafter.
Bobek was charged as part of a northern New Jersey drug ring, specifically charged with conspiracy to distribute methamphetamines.
An investigation led to the arrests of more than a dozen people in June, with Bobek arrested just last week in Florida.
Hudson County Prosecutor Edward DeFazio said, “She played a significant role in this operation. She was actively involved in the upper echelon of this ring.”
Bobek was held on $200,000 bail and faces up to 10 years in prison if she’s convicted.

I met Nicole at a Tampa Bay Devil Rays ball game a couple of years ago &had a very nice time talking with her & she was as sweet & beautiful in person as she was on the ice. It really breaks my heart to see this beautiful great skater get into this trouble with drugs. Will keep praying that this episode will turn her life around & she will again be the wonderful girl that I was so lucky to spend time with at the ball game. Wayne Kennedy…Largo, FL.
