Ryan Garcia Arrested for Felony Vandalism at Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills

Ryan Garcia, the rising boxing star, has found himself in hot water after being arrested for felony vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills. TMZ Sports reported that the incident occurred on a Saturday afternoon, where Garcia allegedly damaged property inside the hotel, including his room and the outside hallway. The extent of the damage is still unknown, but in California, anything over $400 can constitute a felony.

Footage obtained by TMZ Sports shows police escorting Garcia into custody, with the fighter covering his head with a helmet and appearing shirtless. Witnesses mentioned that he seemed to be under the influence during the arrest.

This arrest comes shortly after police performed a wellness check on Garcia at the same hotel earlier in the week. Despite being reportedly okay at the time, the hotel cut him off from alcohol. Garcia, who recently defeated Devin Haney in a surprising upset, has been open about his struggles with alcohol and substance abuse.

Following his victory over Haney, Garcia admitted to drinking heavily throughout fight week and even tested positive for a banned substance afterward. It seems that Garcia is still in police custody, and further updates on the situation are expected.

As fans await more information on Ryan Garcia’s recent arrest, his tumultuous journey continues to unfold in the public eye.
