Boxing star Ryan Garcia arrested at Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills

Boxing star Ryan Garcia, who is 25-1 with 20 knockouts, was arrested Saturday night at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Garcia appeared calm when he was taken by police from the hotel, according to reports. He was arrested on suspicion of vandalism. His attorney later regretted that Garcia “was taken by BHPD to a local hospital for evaluation and treatment.”

A Beverly Hills Police Department watch commander confirmed the arrest.

Damages over $400 are considered a felony under California law.

The boxer's lawyer, Darin Chavez, told ESPN that his client could also face charges of public drunkenness. Chavez said Garcia struggled with family and mental health issues.

“Ryan has spoken openly about his mental health struggles over the years and, at this time, he is facing an immense emotional burden,” Chavez said in a statement to ESPN. “The support and understanding of fans and audiences is crucial as he navigates these personal challenges. We are working diligently to provide Ryan with the resources he needs.

A case will now likely be presented to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office.

Hours before his arrest on Saturday, Garcia posted disturbing messages to X about people protecting “pedos” and complained that he had not yet been paid for a fight.

“Everyone is disgusting [expletive] trying to hide their wrongs,” Garcia wrote in his last message around 3 p.m. Saturday.
