The woman whose tip to police led to the capture of War Machine a.k.a.Jonathan Koppenhaver says she’s dying of cancer and can’t use the reward money. Instead, she’s decided to pay the $20,poo reward forward, TMZ reports.
Mary Casamento was a guest at the same Extended Stay America hotel in Simi Valley, Calif. where War Machine was hiding after fleeing Las Vegas police in the wake of the brutal beating of his former girlfriend Christy Mack.
TMZ reports that Casamento “says she heard commotion and saw a woman run out of Koppenhaver’s room … bloodied.”
According to KTLA.com,
Casamento said she called police to the hotel after seeing a “big dude” yelling at and pushing a petite woman who was trying to calm him down. He grabbed her by the hair, Casamento said.
She called the local police who came and arrested him at the hotel.
Christy Mack’s friends and family had put up $10,000 in reward money, and another 10,000 was added by Corey Harrison of the TV show Pawn Stars.
According to TMZ, Casamento is “not cashing in, because she already has enough to last her for the rest of her life.” Casamento says she’ll donate the reward money to a battered women’s shelter in Santa Clarita, Calif.
