Floyd Diaz, a rising star in the boxing world, found himself in hot water last week in Sin City. The undefeated 21-year-old was arrested by Las Vegas Metro police after they pulled him over for driving a stolen vehicle, according to TMZ Sports.
During the traffic stop, law enforcement officers also discovered that Diaz was carrying a firearm that he was not legally permitted to possess. The arrest came after a patrol unit received a LoJack alert indicating that the vehicle Diaz was driving had been reported stolen.
Diaz was taken into custody and booked into the Clark County jail on two charges: possession of a stolen vehicle and carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. His bail was set at $10,000 in total. Both charges are classified as class C felonies and carry a potential sentence of up to 5 years in prison, as well as substantial fines.
Known for his impressive 13-0 record as a bantamweight fighter, Diaz is a Las Vegas native who has been making waves in the boxing world. His most recent victory came in September when he defeated Mario Hernandez at Madison Square Garden by unanimous decision.
Despite his legal troubles, Diaz remains a promising talent in the sport. He was scheduled to appear before a judge in Clark County on Friday morning to address the charges against him. Fans and followers of the young boxer will be waiting anxiously to see how this incident will impact his career moving forward.
