The interim flyweight champion of the WBA, Luis "El Nica" Concepcion, was arrested late Sunday after an incident in which he is accused of threatening someone with a 9mm pistol. According to information disclosed by the newspaper El Siglo Panama, Concepcion was traveling at an excessive speed and cut off another driver, who almost lost control of his vehicle.

That led to a car chase and then a verbal dispute between the two, which occurred in Fertica near the Panamerican Highway, which is where "El Nica" is alleged to have shown a 9mm pistol to intimidate the other motorist. Concepcion did not resist arrest and the 9mm gun was found, along with a valid carrying permit.
