Details On Garcia’s Arrest
Per TMZ, authorities detained Garcia at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, noting that in the state, law enforcement classifies any damage over $400 as a felony. The outlet further reported that the professional boxer appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and drugs. However, he complied with the police and left the location quietly.
