the link has been pulled from racer x online. found this on pro ride from browndogwilson, who seems to be in the know.
"Don't believe everything you read. The facts given to RX may have come from a credible source, but without proof the story was pulled until actual facts can be provided. It was a very professional thing to do in my opinion. And in no way I am I trying to defend what Mike may have done, but the plain fact is he has not been found guilty of anything at all. He has been accused of a crime and for that he is being held in jail. He has not gone to trial yet and if he had an extra $25,000 in his pocket, he could be out on bail. I guess I haven't been alive long enough to know the time when innocent until proven guilty actually existed. Nowadays if you fart in the wrong direction you could be accused of releasing chemical substances into the air and have Homeland Security up your ass if somebody makes a phone call to the right place. I have gone to see Mike and of course he has his side to the story, and if he could only get a jury to believe it too, he may come out of this alright. But unless you were there and saw Mike do what a few people suggested he did, why don't we wait and see what our wonderful legal system comes up with, because we all know how much integrity everybody in our legal system has. I will share with Mike all of the support he is getting when I see him in the next week or two, but I may have to distort it a bit.
Speaking of our legal system, has anybody heard latest about Fonseca? The last thing I read was that he was deported, but again we can't believe everything we read. "

look at the pics. it says 2 people arrested, yet theres pics of 3 people, and not one of them looks like Healey to me. obviously i wouldnt condone the behavior that Mike is accused of, but i feel that until this is all settled in a court of law, speculation should be kept to a minimum. in the times that i have been around Mike, he was always been a stand up guy. things change, people get desperate and s%#t goes down. this has been all over the message boards in so cal, and it sounds like nobody really knows the truth. as much as i love the internet, this is the downside to it.

Racer X.......
And then there’s the tragically sad news from California that former pro motocrosser, 125 SX winner and Grand Prix contender Mike Healey, is facing a long prison term. Healey could get up to 15 years after robbing an older woman back in May in the parking lot of a Huntington Beach mall, grabbing her purse and leaving the woman with a broken collarbone. I’ve known Mike Healey since we raced together at the first 125 Supercross East-West Shootout in the Los Angeles Coliseum back in 1985. He was Bob Moore’s teammate on a very young Suzuki team, and he would follow Moore to Europe a few years later and team up with him again at KTM. Healey used to wear “Gunner” on the back of his pants, and he had a breakthrough of sorts in 1989 when he won some 125 GP races, though his efforts were largely overshadowed by the Cinderella story that was Trampas Parker. Healey would narrowly lose the ‘91 250cc world title to Parker, then watch both Donny Schmit and Bob Moore go on to win Grand Prix titles that he never could grab. He was more recently teaching motocross schools in Southern California.

racerhead now has more, and i looked at one of the pics wrong. however, as they say, it appears to be Healey. it clears up the Easley situation too.
