SANTA ANA, Calif. – An arrest warrant has been issued for a man wanted for questioning in the April drugging of former Olympic ice dancer Oksana "Pasha" Grishuk.
The warrant was issued Wednesday for James R. Halstead on one felony count of giving a "narcotic, anesthetic and intoxicating agent" to an unwitting woman. Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino says the 61-year-old Santa Ana insurance salesman remains at large.
Grishuk was at an Orange County resort when she began to feel ill and discovered a dissolved pill in the bottom of her drink. Another pill was found in a drink she consumed.
The 36-year-old Grishuk won gold medals in ice dancing in 1994 and 1998.
A message for a James Halstead in Santa Ana was not immediately returned.
