Ryan Garcia is released after his arrest in Los Angeles and taken to the hospital for examination and treatment

Ryan Garcia was reportedly released after being hospitalized for evaluation and treatment following his arrest in Los Angeles on Saturday.

According to TMZ, the boxer was arrested for vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Beverly Hills, but his lawyer has since confirmed that he has been released.

He was arrested on Saturday afternoon after apparently causing property damage to the hotel, including his room and the hallway, reportedly causing $15,000 in damage.

TMZ claims Garcia was “apparently under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs,” but added that he cooperated with authorities during his arrest. The publication has video of his arrest in which he is seen shirtless and wearing a helmet.

The 25-year-old defeated Devin Haney earlier this year, but his erratic behavior beforehand made many doubt whether he was mentally stable enough for the fight. After his surprise victory, he failed a doping test.

TMZ reported earlier this week that Garcia was subjected to a police check at the same hotel after a concerned family member called.

The officers apparently concluded that he was fine and that the matter was closed.

But his arrest on Saturday in California is the latest troubling incident in what has been a turbulent past few months for Garcia.

In December 2023, he divorced his wife Andrea Celina immediately after the birth of their second child.

Then, in the run-up to his highly anticipated clash with Haney in April, he sparked widespread online fears about his mental health with a series of disturbing and bizarre tirades, including one in which he claimed that his throat had been slit.

Garcia also claimed to have been raped by a family member at a young age. He claimed he was tied up in the forest by “the elite” and forced to watch the rape of a child.

Due to concerns about his mental state, he arrived nearly two kilograms overweight for his rematch against WBC super-lightweight champion Haney, meaning he was unable to win the title despite his victory that evening.

And after his points victory in Brooklyn, it later emerged that Garcia had tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine the day before and the day of the fight, before his B-sample tests produced the same result.

However, his team claims that the results of the B sample prove her husband’s innocence and insists that he was merely the victim of contamination of the dietary supplement.

Haney demanded that the result be changed to a victory by disqualification, while his father said Garcia should be banned from boxing for life.

On Wednesday, Garcia announced on social media that his mother, Lisa, is currently battling breast cancer.

“My mom gave me the OK to post,” he wrote. “Please pray for my mom.”

“Cancer is STUPID, I don’t care, she will win – Breast cancer is stupid, JESUS ​​IS ABOVE ALL.”
