When officers arrived and asked Michelle Marie Thompson, 36, why she was there, she told them that she was in a relationship with Tebow. When they asked what kind of relationship they were in, she initally would not answer. When officers gave her the options of friendly, platonic, romantic or matrimonial Thompson giggled and responded "all of the above."
Thompson told officers that the Colorado address on her license was not current because she was living with Tim Tebow in Jacksonville. Also, on the back of her license was a sticker that read, "I (heart symbol) Jesus/Tim Tebow."
Officers instructed Thompson to get back into her car and leave St. Lucie County. Two days later, she returned to the property when the Mets had left for an away game, according to police. She was then arrested on Feb. 28.
Thompson remains in jail in St. Lucie County on a $750 bond.
Tebow was a former University of Florida quarterback, where he won two national champions and a Heisman trophy. He now plays in the New York Mets farm system.
