The undefeated boxer was stopped by police last night in Burbank and was arrested due to a previous warrant. Hit the jump for details.
Via TMZ:
Boxing phenom Gerald Washington was arrested in Burbank, CA late Monday night … TMZ Sports has learned.
Washington — a former tight end at USC — is 14-0 in the ring … but last night, the 32-year-old found himself in handcuffs after a routine traffic stop went south.
Law enforcement sources tell us … cops noticed Washington’s Chevy truck was “straddling the lines” just before midnight … plus, he had expired tags … so they pulled him over.
During the stop, cops determined Washington was NOT under the influence — but officers noticed a warrant out for his arrest stemming for a previous driving without a license incident.
He was taken into custody and bail was set at $5k.
We’re told Washington — nicknamed “El Gallo Negro” — was very cooperative. We’re told Washington is still in custody.
