Ex-Husband Of Olympic Skater Arrested Over Sunglasses Theft At Northbrook Saks

NORTHBROOK, IL — The ex-husband of two-time Olympic figure skater and current NBC Olympic analyst Johnny Weir was arrested last week in Northbrook and charged with a felony in connection with a reported theft of sunglasses, police said.

Victor S. Weir-Voronov, 34, of the 5800 State Bridge Road in Duluth, Georgia, was arrested Sept. 22 at 5:13 p.m. at the Saks Off Fifth in the Northbrook Village Square shopping center in the 100 block of Skokie Boulevard and charged with felony retail theft, according to police reports.

Police said Weir-Voronov was stopped by a store employee in the parking lot after he was allegedly seen removing two pairs of sunglasses from the store.

Northbrook Police were not immediately aware of the reported value of the stolen sunglasses or why Weir-Voronov was charged with a felony.

Weir-Voronov could not be reached for comment.

The Cook County State's Attorney's office did not immediately respond to queries about the charge. (Get Patch real-time email alerts for the latest news for Northbrook — or your community. And iPhone users: Check out Patch's new app.)

Celebrity skater Johnny Weir and Victor Voronov, a lawyer, married in December 2013 but got a divorce only 13 months later.

After their split, Weir publicly accused his ex of domestic violence, assault and the theft of a series of luxury goods, including a Faberge egg and an Hermes ashtray, according to E! News.

Voronov disputed the allegations, filing a defamation lawsuit against the former Olympian and current television personality.

"This is a case of simple jealousy of an aging diva vs. a young hot stud — sometimes things are just that simple," a representative of Voronov wrote last year, according to the New York Post.
