Boxing champ Devin Haney arrested in Los Angeles
Boxing star and Oakland native Devin Haney was arrested overnight Thursday, according to Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department records. Haney was arrested in the Hollywood area around 1 a.m. on a felony charge, KTLA sister station KRON reports.
The undisputed lightweight champion had a semi-automatic handgun in his car during a traffic stop and was arrested for “felony possession of a concealed weapon,” according to TMZ.
Although Haney was not behind the wheel, the car registered under his name made an unsafe lane change and failed to use a turn signal, the outlet reported. The boxer was booked into a Los Angeles jail at 3:48 a.m.
He was released on $35,000 bail Thursday at 8:12 a.m., according to sheriff’s records.
Haney, 24, is coming off his biggest win in May over two-time gold medalist Vasiliy Lomachenko.
