Tryst turns into $50K robbery for RNC delegate

MINNEAPOLIS --

Police are trying to find a woman who apparently drugged a Republican National Convention delegate and robbed him of about $50,000 worth of jewelry, cash and other items in his hotel room.

Gabriel Schwartz, a Denver attorney and party donor, told police he met the woman in a bar at the luxurious Hotel Ivy in downtown Minneapolis and invited her to his room early on Sept. 4, a few hours after Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin accepted the GOP vice presidential nomination.

Once there, police say, the woman made drinks and told Schwartz to get undressed.

The 29-year-old delegate told police that was the last thing he remembered. Police believe he was drugged but aren't sure what drug he was given, police Sgt. William Palmer said Tuesday.

When Schwartz awoke, the woman was gone and so were cash and belongings that included a watch he valued at $30,000.

"We have no doubt this happened," Palmer said. "The guy has been very forthcoming with us. He's been very helpful in the investigation."

The delegate gave police a detailed description, but investigators had no suspects, Palmer said. He stressed that investigators don't believe Schwartz did anything wrong.

"It's embarrassing to admit that I was a target of a crime," Schwartz said in a statement Tuesday. "I was drugged and had about $50,000 of personal items stolen."

"As a single man, I was flattered by the attention of a beautiful woman who introduced herself to me. I used poor judgment. If there is any good that can come from this humiliation, it is to caution others that date rape drugs can be used on men, too," he said.

Speedy's thoughts... 

Wow – a 29 year old single male was “shopping around” and got what he didn’t want.   This sounds like one of those horny Democrats!  And most bloggers know where I stand on politics!  Dude meets a female, they go to his room and then he wakes up with about $50 thousand less in cash and jewelry.

What in the heck is this young pup doing carrying (or having) that much in jewelry?  I don’t know if I am more amazed at his lack of good judgement with the gal or the fact that he had so much valuable jewelry – period.

It goes to show you that a night of sex (which apparently he didn’t have) can be quite costly.  Let this be a lesson to all you horny rich politicians out there – STICK to your business and you might stay out of trouble!
