This is the moment Ryan Garcia was walked out of his five-star hotel in Beverly Hills by police officers in handcuffs.
The controversial boxer was arrested on Saturday for misdemeanor vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Los Angeles.
He has reportedly since been released after you have been taken to the hospital for evaluation and treatment.
Garcia was taken into custody Saturday afternoon after apparently damaging hotel property, including the room he was staying in and the hallway. It is claimed the damage was worth $15,000.
TMZ Claims that Garcia was “apparently under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs,” but added that he was cooperating with authorities during his arrest.

Footage of his arrest shows the boxer shirtless and wearing a helmet as he walks out of the hotel with a number of officers surrounding him.
Despite reports that Garcia has been released, he went to X on Sunday and suggested he was still locked up.
He wrote, “It’s kind of funny that both Trump and I are in jail.
‘I don’t know if he’s in prison, but I know he’s been convicted. This sucks, but I love Jesus, I’m going to be okay.”
Donald Trump was convicted of misdemeanor crimes last month when a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex.
However, the former president is not in prison and sentencing is set for July 11.
The 25-year-old defeated Devin Haney earlier this year, but his erratic behavior in the build-up led many to wonder if he was mentally stable enough to fight. He failed a doping test after his surprise victory.

TMZ reported earlier this week that Garcia was subjected to a welfare check by police at the same hotel after receiving a call from a concerned family member.
Officers apparently determined that he was doing well and that was the end of the case.
But his arrest on Saturday in California is the latest concern for Garcia in a tumultuous few months.
In December 2023, he divorced his wife Andrea Celina immediately after the birth of their second child.
Then, heading into his highly anticipated clash with Haney in April, he sparked widespread fears over the state of his mental health with a series of disturbing and bizarre online rants, including one in which he claimed his throat had been slit.
Garcia also claimed to have been raped by a relative at a young age, claiming he was tied up in the forest by “the elites” and forced to watch the rape of children.

It is the latest dramatic incident for Garcia, 25, after erratic behavior throughout the year
Amid concerns about his state of mind, he came in almost four pounds overweight for his grudge match against WBC super lightweight champion Haney, meaning he did not win that title despite his win that night.
And following his points win in Brooklyn, it later emerged that Garcia had tested positive for the banned substance Ostarine the day before and the day of the fight, before his B sample tests returned the same result.
However, his team claims that the B sample results prove their man is innocent, insisting that he is simply a victim of supplement contamination.
Haney has called for the result to be overturned as a disqualification victory, while his father has said Garcia should be banned from boxing for life.
On Wednesday, Garcia announced on social media that his mother, Lisa, is currently battling breast cancer.
“My mother gave me permission to post,” he wrote. “Please pray for my mother.
‘Cancer STUPID I don’t care if she wins – Breast cancer is stupid, JESUS IS ABOVE ALL’.
