Boxing star Ryan Garcia ‘arrested’ after alleged incident in Beverly Hills

Boxer Ryan Garcia was reportedly arrested following an alleged incident at a Beverly Hills hotel.

In April, Garcia won his fight against Devin Haney, but then caused great controversy due to an alleged failed doping test.

As ESPN reported, Garcia tested positive for the performance-enhancing substance Ostarine the day before and on the day of his fight against Haney.

Now ESPN reported that Garcia was arrested in Los Angeles on Saturday evening.

The report states: “Boxing star Ryan Garcia was arrested on vandalism charges Saturday after a Beverly Hills hotel accused him of causing an estimated $15,000 in damage, a Beverly Hills Police watch commander told ESPN.

“Garcia, 25, was arrested at 5:45 p.m. after a driver who dropped him off at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills called police, police said.”

In a statement, Garcia’s attorney Darin Chavez said: “Ryan has spoken openly about his mental health issues over the years and is currently struggling with tremendous emotional distress.

“The support and understanding of fans and the public is critical as he navigates these personal challenges. We are working diligently to provide Ryan with the resources he needs.”
