An arrest warrant has been issued for an Orange County, California insurance salesman who police want to question in the April drugging of a former Olympic ice dancer.

Oksana "Pasha" Grishuk, who lives part of the year in Alisa Viejo, Calif., reported that she began to feel ill last month after consuming a drink in the lounge of the St. Regis Monarch Beach resort. Grishuk had reportedly been at the resort to meet with a man on business, whom police have identified as insurance salesman James R. Halstead, 61, of Santa Ana.
The issued warrant is for one felony count of giving a "narcotic, anesthetic and intoxicating agent" to an unwitting woman. Grishuk tested positive for the date-rape drug GHB.
Halstead has had run-ins with the law before, and currently is accused in civil lawsuits of defrauding investors of some $20 million.
Grishuk, representing her native Russia, won gold medals in ice dancing in the 1994 and 1998 Olympics.
