Newly obtained police records confirmed that the woman arrested in connection to the death of Adan Manzano, a 27-year-old sports anchor and reporter who was covering the Kansas City Chiefs at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, was arrested twice in Las Vegas for drugging and stealing from men.

Danette Colbert, 48, of Slidell, was “charged with property crimes, including fraud and theft-related offenses" in relation to Manzano's death last week. Colbert was also reportedly arrested for two incidents in Las Vegas hotel rooms that took place in a six month span in 2022, both of which resulted in her drugging and stealing from men.

“We think we've opened up a Pandora's box of similar-type crimes,” said Chief Keith Conley of the Kenner, Louisiana, Police Department via KMBC.

Last week, Colbert was captured on surveillance footage leaving Manzano's hotel room and using his credit card "at several stores in the New Orleans area."

"You asked if this was a homicide, I don't know where it's going to end up. We're going to let the evidence lead us to the end result and not speculate," Conley said during a news briefing last week via NBC News. "As soon as the coroner finishes with his findings and they will classify it as either homicide or whatever death the evidence leads him to and then these charges could be upgraded."

Conley previously confirmed that Colbert had been “charged with introducing a substance, a foreign substance” during a 2022 incident in Nevada and another incident in Jefferson Parish, which "I believe it was two years ago," he said at the time.

Manzano was covering the Chiefs for KGKC, the Kansas City local Telemundo affiliate, and Tico Sports, a Spanish language sports network, KGKC station general manager Steve Downing announced in a news release shared last Thursday (February 6).
