Dana White talks about Cain Velasquez arrest
Dana White came out in support of his ex-fighter. Former UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez was formally charged with attempted premeditated murder and a number of firearms assault offences, according to a news release from the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office. During an “11-mile, high-speed chase” through San Jose, Velasquez pursued Goularte’s truck in his own automobile, slammed it, and then repeatedly fired a 40-calibre revolver into the vehicle, which was hauling Goularte and two elderly relatives. Paul Bender, Goularte’s 63-year-old stepfather, was wounded once in the arm and chest but is expected to make a full recovery, according to court records.
A traffic stop led to the discovery and subsequent arrest of Velasquez, according to court records. Three counts of assault with a firearm, three counts of assault with a deadly weapon, willfully discharging a firearm from a vehicle and carrying a loaded firearm with the intent to commit a crime are among the charges brought against him. He is also accused of trying to kill someone and of shooting at an occupied car or aeroplane. Goularte, who was unharmed by the incident, is accused of engaging in sexual or lewd behaviour with Cain Velasquez’s daughter, a child under the age of 14.

I sincerely ask that you take this into consideration as you adjudicate next steps in this process concerning Mr. Velasquez. lf you wish for me to confirm any of the above, please do not hesitate to contact me.” Here is the entire report:-
If Velasquez is found guilty of attempted murder, he might spend the rest of his life in prison. If found guilty of additional offences involving firearms, he could serve more time.
