This is the moment Ryan Garcia was walked out of his five-star Beverly Hills hotel by police officers in handcuffs.
The controversial boxer was arrested for felony vandalism at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in Los Angeles on Saturday.
He has reportedly now been released after being taken to hospital for evaluation and treatment.
Garcia was taken into custody on Saturday afternoon after apparently damaging property at the hotel, including the room he was staying in and the hallway. It’s claimed the damage was worth $15,000.
TMZ claims that Garcia was ‘seemingly under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs’ but added that he cooperated with authorities during his arrest.

Ryan Garcia ARRESTED in Los Angeles in latest worrying incident for the troubled boxer
Footage of him being arrested shows the boxer without a shirt on and wearing a helmet as he walks out of the hotel with a number of officers around him.
Despite the reports that Garcia has been released, he took to X on Sunday and suggested he was still locked up.
He posted: ‘Kinda funny both Trump and I are in jail.
‘I don’t know if he is in jail but I know he got convicted. This sucks, but I love Jesus I will be okay.’
Donald Trump was convicted of felony crimes last month when a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex.
The former President is not, however, in jail with sentencing set for July 11.
The 25-year-old beat Devin Haney earlier this year but his erratic conduct in the buildup led many to question if he was mentally stable enough to fight. He failed a doping test after his surprise victory.

TMZ reported earlier this week that Garcia was subject to a welfare check by police at the same hotel after a call from a concerned family member.
Officers apparently determined that he was fine and it was the end of the matter.
In December 2023, he divorced his wife Andrea Celina immediately after the birth of their second child.
Then, heading into his much-anticipated clash with Haney in April, he sparked major fears over the state of his mental health with a series of disturbing and bizarre online tirades, including one in which he alleged that his throat had been slit.
Garcia also claimed to have been raped at an early age by a family member, while alleging that he was tied up in the woods by ‘the elites’ and forced to watch child rape.

Ryan Garcia ‘checked out by cops in LA’ after family member ‘became concerned about his wellbeing’
Amid concerns over his state of mind, he came in almost four pounds overweight for his grudge match against WBC super-lightweight champion Haney, meaning he did not collect that title despite his victory on the night.
And following his points triumph in Brooklyn, it later emerged Garcia had tested positive for banned substance Ostarine the day before and the day of the fight, before his B-sample tests provided the same result.
However, his team claim the B-sample results prove their man is innocent, insisting he is simply the victim of supplement contamination.
Haney has called for the result to be reversed to a disqualification win, while his father has said Garcia should be banned from boxing for life.
On Wednesday, Garcia took to social media to reveal his mother, Lisa, is currently battling breast cancer.
‘My mom has gave me the Ok to post,’ he wrote. ‘Please pray for my mother.
‘Cancer STUPID I don’t care she will win – Breast cancer is stupid, JESUS IS ABOVE ALL’.
