Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. was arrested on the Las Vegas Strip late Thursday just before midnight on a misdemeanor battery complaint alleging he poked a security guard in the face several times.
The warrant issued Dec. 8 required Mayweather to turn himself in or face arrest at anytime. He was booked into the Clark County Detention Center, then released on his own recognizance at 10:53 a.m. Friday.
Las Vegas Justice of the Peace Tony Abbatangelo signed the arrest warrant for Mayweather after a Dec. 7 hearing, then immediately recalled it. It was reinstated after prosecutors complained Mayweather had received special treatment.
The battery allegation stems from a Nov. 15 confrontation over parking tickets between the undefeated champion and a security guard outside Mayweather's home.
Mayweather faces a a six-month jail sentence and a $1,000 fine if convicted.
Before it's over with he will go the O.J. way
Wow, Security guard is really hoping to make money off this. Talk about abuse. I bet he provoked Floyd.
clear the law already! We are all waiting for you to fight Pacman!!!
Its hard to rationalize the behavior of this thug. I mean you cant blame it on poverty. It just shows no matter how much money you have. If its in your blood to be aggresive no amount of money can cure that. Its genetic.
The only deal that the DA should make with this PUNK is to drop all charges if he fights Pacman by Febuary 2011. That should be punishment enough. We better lock his ASS up before he hurts or kills someone.
Look, daddy, every time a bell rings, some dumb security guard makes a celebrity arrest in Las Vegas and costs the LVCVA a half billion in promotional costs.
He should be arrested for what he did to his Rolls-Royce! No class...just trash.
