World champion boxer Jermell Charlo appeared to have some issues with his bank and credit card payments which led to a huge chaos. He recently turned himself into the hands of the authorities in Bexar County Wednesday morning weeks after San Antonio police issued multiple felony robbery warrants against him.
Jermell Charlo faces felony robbery charges
He was booked at a satellite office at the Bexar County Courthouse just before 10 a.m. and released on bond about a half-hour later. Charlo’s attorney Wednesday afternoon pushed back on the charges, claiming SAPD moved forward with the case in an attempt to embarrass his client. Oscar de la Hoya ‘Goes After’ Dana White In Video
On July 16, San Antonio police had responded to the Privat Martini Bar & Social Club, located in the 5100 block of UTSA Boulevard, after receiving a call around 2 a.m. that Charlo had assaulted a waiter and taken off with her tips, according to an SAPD incident report released Wednesday.
The incident happened after a credit card Charlo attempted to use to pay his tab was repeatedly declined, the report states.
According to a warrant for his arrest, after Charlo accused the waiter of trying to steal his credit card, he grabbed two black waiter books, removing his identification from one and cash from another. Charlo and members of his group then “pushed their way out of the building and left the location” in a limousine bus, according to the warrant. It has been reported that a waitress suffered a lower leg injury after a member of Charlo’s group stepped on her as they left.
SAPD detectives issued three second-degree warrants for robbery against Charlo Aug. 7, court records show.
Charlo is a world champion middleweight boxer with a record of 32-0-0, whose most recent fight was in his native Houston in June against Juan Macias Montiel, in a winning effort.
