Former lightweight titleholder Omar Figueroa was arrested last week on an open warrant from a 2012 case in Hidalgo County, Texas, accusing him of driving while intoxicated, according to online court records.
Figueroa, 25, was booked into police custody at 1:18 a.m. on March 26 and was released at 10:49 p.m. that day, out on $1,000 bond. The arrest comes with about a month until Figueroa’s next scheduled fight.
This appears to stem from an old but still open case. Online court records for this arrest reference a case number that dates back to a DWI case from late July 2012 and has brought numerous pretrial hearings in 2013, 2014 and in January 2015.
Not the first time Figueroa has been in trouble for this, Ive also heard he has a drinking problem, so thats probably why he puts on so much weight in between fights. I like Omar hes from my state and we share the same area code, but if he continues with this i'm not sure his career will benefit. Hope he gets himself straightened out before it becomes a huge issue hes supposed to be in camp training for a big televised opportunity and hes out a 3 AM drinking and driving.
On the next episode of Prison Fighters: 5 Rounds to Freedom, Adrien Broner takes on Omar Figueroa to see which one will regain their freedom and which one will remain behind bars.
What a piece of garbage! ***ing criminal could've killed someone, fortunately it was during twilight hours!
Hopefully Broner beats his bs he say she say case and beat this irresponsible drunk into rehab!
Do your research.Broner has also been caught with dui, he could have also killed someone, and broner goes harder because it's not only alcohol that he drinks he also drinks purple drank/lean/ which is way more dangerous than alcohol
