Ryan Garcia arrested for criminal vandalism in Los Angeles and taken away in handcuffs on video

Ryan Garcia was arrested for criminal vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills Saturday afternoon…and TMZ Sports has video of superstar boxer being led away by cops in handcuffs.

Police sources tell us the boxer was arrested and taken into custody after allegedly damaging property at the hotel, including his room and the hallway.

In California, any damage over $400 can be considered a felony.

We obtained video showing Beverly Hills police taking Garcia out of the Waldorf and to a police car. Although you can't see Garcia's face – it's covered by a helmet – Ryan's large back tattoos are visible.

The 25-1 fighter, who we are told was apparently under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, complied with authorities and left peacefully.

Eyewitnesses tell us they saw nearly a dozen police cars outside the hotel, presumably in response to the incident.

This isn't the first time Garcia has had an alleged incident at the upscale hotel.

On Wednesday, the police responded to the Waldorf for a welfare check after one of Ryan's family members feared he might need help. Our sources tell us RG seemed fine and the cops left.

Later that night, we were told Garcia had acted out and the hotel stopped him from drinking.

Ryan was photographed walking with his brother the next day and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Of course Ryan beat Devin Haney earlier this year in what many considered a big upset. After the fight, it was revealed that Garcia tested positive for a prohibited substance. He insisted he did not intentionally ingest anything that was not allowed.

He is also facing personal problems. According to the fighter, his mother was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

Garcia is currently in custody.

We've reached out to his team for comment, but so far, no response.
