Heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder was arrested in Los Angeles on a routine traffic stop.
According to TMZ, Wilder was pulled over in Hollywood after 1 a.m. on Tuesday (May 2) for illegal tints and obstruction of his license plate. During the stop, a smell of marijuana came from the vehicle leading to a search.
In addition to the weed, Wilder had a 9mm handgun inside the car, leading to his arrest. Wilder cooperated and was booked for possession of a concealed weapon. He bonded out hours later.

I’d rather be safe than sorry. The End
