CelebnSports247.com reports that WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo was arrested Wednesday on felony robbery charges following an alleged dispute with a waitress over a bar tab.
This is so pathetic.
Jermall Charlo attorney Kent A. Schaffer explained
When they ran [Charlo’s] card it was declined and he then received a fraud alert from Chase Bank asking if he had made the charge. He responded yes and they told him to have the charge submitted again. The waitress went to run it again and came back saying she could not find the card. Jermall was upset that his card was missing since it was a debit card tied to an account with a substantial amount of money.
Schaffer continued:
The waitress had his license sticking out of a portfolio and he took his license back saying that he didn’t want her to lose that too. By this time, many club employees were gathering in the hallway so Jermall’s handlers wanted to get him out of the club before trouble started and a club employee walked Jermall out to his car.
Kent A. Schaffer added:
Hours later Jermall’s assistant made contact with the club to give them another credit card number but the club refused to accept it.
Why Club Owner Still Pressed Charges Against Jermall Charlo:
Schaffer said the club owner expressed a “desire to drop the charges” … but claimed law enforcement “insisted on filing charges to try to embarrass Jermall.”
Despite his denial, Jermall was still arrested after cops say the boxing superstar melted down at a bar and stole money from a waitress
The alleged incident all went down in San Antonio on July 16 — the day before Charlo’s brother, Jermell Charlo, fought Brian Castaño to a draw at AT&T Center.
According to police documents, Jermall was with a large party at the Texas bar when the waitress presented the group with the bill.
In the docs, cops say Jermall handed over his credit card and ID … but the card was declined despite three attempts to run it.
Yikes!
When the waitress came back to Jermall asking for another form of payment, he allegedly snapped.
Police say surveillance video shows Jermall “being very animated” appearing to “be upset and yelling” at the waitress and two other managers on the scene.
He was then seen taking away two bill collection binders from the waitress and stealing everything from the inside of them.
Cops say one of the binders had Jermall’s ID in it … while the other had “cash payment made by another customer” that the waitress had been serving previously in the night.
basically, Jermall got his face cracked because his card was declined. Second we doubt he was tying to steel money that was an accident. He just wanted his ID back.
Jermall is one of the biggest stars in boxing … he’s piled up a 32-0 record with 22 knockouts and is currently the WBC middleweight champ.
