Jermall Charlo Arrested For DWI After Car Crash; WBC Strips Him – ‘His Career Is Over’

Jermall Charlo was reportedly arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated.

According to reports, the boxer was driving his Lamborghini when he crashed the car into another vehicle on May 7 in Houston. Charlo then argued with the other driver following the collision, after which the boxer drove away. A spokesperson for the Pearland Police Department claims the authorities tried to pull Charlo over.

However, the American allegedly ignored the siren until he was cornered at a red light a mile from the collision. Charlo was then arrested and taken to a police station. He underwent a sobriety test, which showed that his blood alcohol levels were over .15. The boxer was then arrested for driving while intoxicated and fleeing from the scene of the crash. It is claimed Charlo caused over $200 worth of damage. Luckily, no one was injured in the crash. His attorney, Kent Schaffer, denies suggestions the boxer had drugs in his system. The boxer has been released on a $9,500 bond.

Charlo’s Crash

“Jermall has been in training. He has not been using any type of drugs,” Schaffer said

This is not the first time Charlo has been in trouble with the authorities. He was arrested and charged in 2022 with assaulting a member of his family. The charges would later get dropped. However, it has shown that the boxer struggles to keep his personal life in check outside the ring. He had been absent from the sport for over two years due to mental health struggles. Things have not gotten better, with the WBC stripping him of his middleweight belt.
