O.J. Simpson's Ex Pleads Guilty In MN Case

FARGO, N.D. (AP) -- O.J. Simpson's former girlfriend has pleaded guilty to felony burglary and drug possession in a Minnesota case, two months after getting a suspended sentence in North Dakota for trying to snatch someone's purse.

Thirty-eight-year-old Christie Prody is accused of stealing painkillers from an elderly couple in Moorhead, Minn., while working in their home as a nurse. The Forum newspaper reports she's to be sentenced June 28.

Prody in March entered an Alford plea to felony robbery in Fargo, N.D., meaning she didn't admit guilt but acknowledged there likely was enough evidence to convict her. She was given a four-year suspended sentence and ordered to serve two years of probation.

Prody and Simpson began dating in 1996 after he was acquitted of killing his ex-wife and her friend in Los Angeles.
