Undisputed lightweight champion Devin Haney was arrested early Thursday morning and charged with felony possession of a concealed weapon, TMZ reported.
Haney was arrested shortly after midnight in Los Angeles and released on $35,000 bond several hours later, per TMZ, citing jail records.
Haney is 30-0 and owns the WBC, WBO, WBA and IBF belts.
The car Haney was riding in was pulled over for a routine traffic stop following an unsafe lane change and failure to use a turn signal, per the TMZ report, citing police.
The driver of the vehicle, not Haney, told police there was a firearm in the car, per TMZ. Cops found a semi-automatic handgun under the driver’s seat. Because no one claimed ownership, Haney was arrested and booked on the felony since the car was registered in his name, per TMZ.
Haney, 24, will have a court appearance next month.
