Ryan Garcia Arrested for Felony Vandalism

Details of the Incident

On a Saturday, boxing star Ryan Garcia was arrested for felony vandalism at a Beverly Hills hotel, where he allegedly caused approximately $15,000 in damages, as reported by the Beverly Hills Police Department.

Garcia, 25 years old, was taken into custody after a driver who had dropped him off at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills contacted the authorities, according to the police.

Legal Proceedings

Upon the arrival of the police, the hotel decided to press charges against Garcia, although the specific details regarding the damage and his behavior were not immediately disclosed. Following his booking at the Beverly Hills Police Department jail, Garcia complained of a medical issue, leading to his transfer to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

Legal Counsel Statement

“He was taken by the BHPD to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment and, to our knowledge, may be charged with public intoxication,” Garcia’s attorney, Darin Chavez, informed ESPN.

Professional Ramifications

Garcia, with a record of 25 wins and 1 loss, faces potential suspension from the New York Athletic Commission after testing positive for the banned substance ostarine before his recent fight against Devin Haney. Despite winning the bout by a majority decision, Garcia was ineligible to claim the WBC junior welterweight title due to being 3.2 pounds over the weight limit.

The decision regarding Garcia’s future in boxing is pending, and his victory may be nullified based on the commission’s ruling.
