BEVERLY HILLS—On Thursday, July 18, the Los Angeles District Attorney’s Office disclosed that Boxer Ryan Garcia has been charged with allegedly vandalizing the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills in the city of Beverly Hills on June 8.

Garcia, 25, is charged with one misdemeanor count of vandalism of $400 or more in damage or destruction of property. It is further alleged that the amount of defacement, damage and destruction was $400 or more. He is expected to be arraigned on August 7 in Dept. 72 of the Airport Courthouse.

Garcia started boxing at the age of seven and won his first professional fight at the age of 17 against Edgar Meza with a TKO. He was expelled from the World Boxing Council in July 2024 after using racial slurs against African Americans and making remarks about Muslims via a social media live video. He holds a record of 20 boxing wins via knockout, and one loss via a knockout against Gervonta Davis.

On June 8, Garcia allegedly damaged and destroyed property at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills. He was accused by staff of causing more than $15,000 in damage at the establishment.

A second individual, Celeste Cardio, was arrested following the incident. Cardio’s case was declined to be prosecuted due to insufficient evidence.

If convicted as charged, he faces a maximum sentence of one year in county jail. The case was investigated by the Beverly Hills Police Department.

BEVERLY HILLS—On June 8, at approximately 5:45 p.m. lightweight boxing champion, Ryan Garcia was arrested by the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) for vandalism.

Reports indicate that Garcia was intoxicated enough to warrant a call from his driver to the police after dropping him off at the Waldorf Astoria located at 9850 Wilshire Blvd. Staff at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel accused Garcia of causing $15,000 worth of damage which is classified as a felony.

According to California Law, the punishment for vandalism is based on the value of the property that was damaged. If convicted of felony vandalism, the vandal may face up to three years in state prison, a fine of $50,000., or both.

@MattWallace posted video footage of Garcia on X social media platform depicting an inebriated Garcia with the following message.

“I’m not okay. Soon my Tik-Tok will be deleted. They’re going to try to put me in jail, then they’re gonna kill me.”

In April, Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney were heading into an upcoming boxing match when neither of the participants met the weight requirements for the match. The boxing match transpired with Garcia winning.

On April 20, near the time of the match, Garcia tested positive for an illegal substance.

“Warning: Ryan Garcia has a “handler” in his circle. He has been drugged, shamed, and arrested by design. Remember when Ryan ‘tested positive’ for Ostarine before fighting Devin Haney? It was only a few billionths of a gram (nothing) and we now have proof he was set up by a handler!


Why would trace amounts of a banned substance appear in two separate supplements? Because they were planted there,… absolutely NOBODY in Hollywood can be trusted!” @Matt Wallace posted on X.

Ryan’s attorney released copies of ‘confidential test reports,’ showing Ostarine, a banned substance, was detected in two supplements: Nutra BIO super carb raspberry lemonade and strawberry-flavored Body Health Perfect Amino.

A phone call was made for a ‘wellness check’ in Ryan’s hotel room the day he was arrested. He was obviously in an incapacitated state, and the entire vandalism thing was, a setup to get him where they want him. 15K is nothing to Ryan… without that call…it just gets paid, and you never hear about this. Everything happening is fully controlled.

I will leave you with the newest quote from Ryan’s legal team:

“Throughout his career, Ryan has voluntarily submitted to numerous tests, all of which have returned negative results, underscoring his commitment to fair and clean competition. Additionally, multiple negative tests leading up to his fight against Haney further affirm his clean record. The ultra-low levels of Ostarine detected in his samples, in the billionth of a gram range, along with his clean hair sample [that]proves contamination rather than intentional ingestion. The recent test results reiterate this,”—Darin Chavez (Ryan Garcia’s Attorney).

According to WebMD, when taken by mouth: Ostarine is possibly unsafe. It might cause liver damage and other serious side effects such as heart attack.
