Ryan Garcia, the boxer known for his recent victory against Devin Haney, has reportedly been arrested in Los Angeles for felony vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Beverly Hills.
Alleged Incident Details
According to reports from TMZ, Garcia was taken into custody on Saturday afternoon after allegedly causing damage to property at the hotel, including the room where he was staying. It’s suggested that Garcia may have been under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs at the time of the incident, although he reportedly cooperated with authorities during his arrest.
Previous Concerns Raised
This arrest follows previous concerns over Garcia’s behavior and mental health. Earlier this year, Garcia’s erratic conduct leading up to his fight with Haney prompted questions about his stability. Moreover, he failed a doping test after his unexpected victory, adding to the concerns surrounding his well-being.
Recent Events
In addition to his recent arrest, Garcia’s personal life has also been turbulent. He divorced his wife immediately after the birth of their second child in December 2023, and leading up to his fight with Haney, he made disturbing statements online, raising further concerns about his mental state.
Performance and Health Issues
Garcia’s struggles extended to his physical performance as well. He came in overweight for his fight against Haney and later tested positive for a banned substance. Despite claims of innocence from his team, the situation has cast a shadow over his career.
Family Health Crisis
Adding to Garcia’s challenges, he recently revealed on social media that his mother is battling breast cancer. Despite the difficulties he’s facing, Garcia remains optimistic and has asked for prayers for his mother’s recovery.
