Former two-division boxing champion Jermall Charlo was arrested Tuesday in Texas on several charges, including fleeing police officers and driving under the influence.

The 33-year-old, who held the WBC middleweight and IBF light middleweight titles, was released later Tuesday on bonds totaling $9,500, according to arrest reports.

According to the Pearland Police Department report, Charlo is charged with driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of 0.15 – nearly twice the legal limit in Texas (0.08).

The records also show that he is charged with ‘fledging a police officer with imminent danger SBI’, a very serious crime.

In addition, Charlo was charged with a collision that damaged a vehicle. Damages are reportedly greater than or equal to $200.

It is not clear whether the collision occurred before or after he allegedly fled the officer.

Charlo, riding his red Lamborghini Urus, and another car were involved in a collision around 6:41 p.m., a Pearland Police spokesperson told DailyMail.com. A 2024 model of the Lamborghini SUV costs around $240,000.

Charlo fled the scene after a verbal exchange ensued between the drivers.

When authorities tried to pull over the boxer, he reportedly ignored their sirens until police boxed him in at a red light about a mile from where the collision occurred.

The officers added that they arrested Charlo at the scene and that he showed signs of intoxication when he performed a field sobriety test after the arrest.

Charlo has a perfect professional record of 33-0 with 22 wins by knockout. He last saw the squared circle in November when he played against Jose Benavidez Jr. fought to a unanimous decision.

Meanwhile, his twin brother Jermell is 35-2-1 (WLD), with his most recent loss coming to Canelo Alvarez in September.

Before fighting Benavidez in November, Charlo’s last two fights took place between June 2021 and September 2020.

During his time away from the ring, Charlo admitted in an interview with the New York Post that he struggled with mental health issues.

“Depression, self-flaring, going from hot to cold very quickly is shocking for you,” he described the ordeal.

‘Treating all kinds of cases of… [being] bipolar, being alone, thinking you are shutting out the world will help you. But you need to be able to talk to someone and help you get past whatever you’re going through.

“It feels like everyone is against you, I don’t care if you’re in an Uber, in a cab, anywhere, everyone is just against you. Why I felt this way [I don’t know].

“I couldn’t say that some people weren’t against me, it was just how you feel at the moment and I pretty much turned my back on the whole world. I just had to get help with it and it made me a lot better.”
