Boxer Ryan Garcia Arrested for Vandalism at Luxury Hotel in Beverly Hills

Renowned boxer Ryan Garcia found himself in hot water over the weekend as he was arrested for felony vandalism by Beverly Hills police. The incident took place at the prestigious Waldorf Astoria hotel in Beverly Hills, where Garcia was staying.

Beverly Hills Police Department Statement

The Beverly Hills Police Department released a statement confirming Garcia’s arrest. According to the statement, officers responded to a call about an “intoxicated person” at the hotel. Upon investigation, it was revealed that Garcia, a registered guest at the hotel, had caused damage to a guest room and the hallway. The hotel management requested Garcia’s arrest for property damage.

Details of the Arrest

25-year-old Ryan Garcia, hailing from Porter Ranch, California, was arrested for felony vandalism under PC 594(b)(1). Following his arrest, he was taken to a local hospital for medical care.

Statement from Garcia’s Attorney

Garcia’s attorney, Darin Chavez, addressed the incident and shed light on the boxer’s recent struggles, particularly related to his mother’s health. Chavez emphasised Garcia’s openness about his mental health challenges and requested support and understanding from the public as Garcia navigates through personal difficulties.

Potential Legal Ramifications

In California, property damage exceeding $400 constitutes a felony. If convicted, Garcia could face a sentence of up to three years in state prison and a fine of up to $50,000.

Recent Controversies

Garcia’s arrest comes amidst a turbulent period for the boxer. In April, he secured a significant victory over Devin Haney, but the win was overshadowed by a positive test for the banned substance Ostarine. Garcia attributed the test result to a contaminated supplement he had unknowingly consumed before the fight.

Potential Consequences

Garcia faces potential sanctions from the New York Athletic Commission due to the failed drug test. The outcome of his fight against Haney may also be called into question. The commission is yet to make a final ruling on the matter.
