RYAN GARCIA has been arrested for felony vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Los Angeles, according to reports.
The American boxer, 25, was already at the centre of controversy having returned a positive drug test in the wake of his win over Devin Haney in April.
According to TMZ, things have now escalated even further for Garcia outside the ring as he was arrested and taken into custody on Saturday afternoon following an incident in Beverly Hills.
He was apprehended for allegedly damaging property at the hotel – which included in his room and the hallway.
It is alleged he was “seemingly under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs”, but that he cooperated with police as they arrested him.
Garcia was led out of the hotel shirtless and wearing a helmet.

Just a few days ago, police paid a visit to Garcia at the Waldorf to check on his welfare after they were called by a concerned family member.
The authorities determined the super-lightweight boxer was OK.
Garcia divorced wife Andrea Celina in January following the birth of their second child.
