Ryan Garcia has once again made headlines for his past misdemeanor at a hotel in Beverly Hills. Garcia’s challenges continue to grow as he navigates a series of legal and disciplinary issues. The 25-year-old boxer has been charged with alleged misdemeanor vandalism after his arrest in June.
Law enforcement accused Garcia of vandalizing property and causing damages. On June 8th, Ryan Garcia was arrested by the police after being accused of vandalism. No further reports were given following the arrest, and the incident was largely forgotten as more controversies arose. However, in recent developments, Garcia has been held accountable for his actions.
The Los Angeles County District Attorney charged Ryan Garcia with one misdemeanor count of vandalism. Reports suggested he had caused $15000 worth of property damage at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. According to ESPN, Garcia’s trial is scheduled for August 7th. If convicted, the boxer faces up to one year in Los Angeles County Jail for the vandalism charges.
A year back, Ryan Garcia was at the peak of his career with an undefeated record in professional boxing. His only defeat came against Gervonta Davis in April 2023. Garcia’s recent fight against Devin Haney became controversial after he tested positive for using PEDs. Eventually, his win against Haney became declared as a no-contest. It was just the beginning of his controversial moves.
Ryan Garcia and his recent controversies
This accusation of vandalism contributes to a string of recent events that have tarnished Garcia’s professional and personal life. During the last seven months, Garcia found himself embroiled in several scandals that have greatly affected his boxing career. His announcement of divorce and testing positive for a prohibited substance remains just the tip of the iceberg. These actions have resulted in suspensions, legal action, and the withdrawal of endorsements.
After exhibiting a series of unpredictable actions, such as posting controversial content on social media, Garcia’s reputation has suffered. His family has reportedly cut off contact with him. Garcia has even received considerable criticism from fans and the boxing community. The 25-year-old shared a message on X in response to the recent allegations.

The post leaves room for interpretation about whether it was a defiant stand against the charges or a statement of disbelief. Despite offering numerous apologies and committing to seek rehabilitation, it is uncertain if Garcia has upheld his promises. As Garcia deals with these legal and personal obstacles, the boxing world closely observes to see if the previously talented fighter can recover both in and out of the ring.
