According to a report by TMZ, former WBC heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder was arrested in Los Angeles following a routine traffic stop.

Law enforcement sources told the media outlet that Wilder was pulled over in Hollywood at around 1:15 AM after LAPD officers claimed his Rolls-Royce's windows were illegally tinted and his license plate was obstructed.

During the stop, cops say they smelled an odor of burnt marijuana coming from his vehicle -- so they searched the car.

TMZ, per their sources, indicates that officers allegedly found weed and a 9mm handgun in the vehicle, and put Wilder into custody.

The 6-foot-7 fighter was cooperative and friendly throughout the whole ordeal.

The 37-year-old was booked on a charge of possession of a concealed weapon. Jail records show he bonded out at 6:34 AM.

Wilder -- with a 43-2-1 fighter with 42 knockouts on his resume -- has been out of action since last October, when he demolished Robert Helenius in one round.

There is heavy talk that Wilder could potentially face former two-time world champion Anthony Joshua at the end of the year in the Middle East. Another longtime option is a WBC final eliminator against former unified champion Andy Ruiz.
