UFC welterweight, Anthony Johnson, was arrested in Hayward, CA with 2 separate felony charges, and a misdemeanor charge for events that took place there on June 27.
When contacted by MMAWeekly.com on Thursday, representatives from the Hayward, CA Police Department confirmed Johnson's arrest, along with the charges he faces. According to the report, Johnson was held for 2 felony charges which included penal code 422 for criminal threats, and penal code 591, for damage to a power line, which according to police representatives usually means cut telephone lines.
Alternate reports from MMAMania.com have surfaced stating that it was actually a cell phone that was destroyed, which prevented the call to police for an emergency.
Johnson was also arrested with a misdemeanor charge of penal code 243 for battery on a spouse/domestic violence.
The UFC welterweight was released that same day on bail, but no other details were available at the time of publication.
Ken Pavia of MMA Agents and Johnson's manager said they would be issuing a statement in the coming hours about the arrest.

I dont see how this fight brings him up the WW rankings. Time for a step up in competition IMO.

Here's the statement from Ken Pavia, via MMAWeekly.
Ken Pavia of MMA Agents was contacted by MMAWeekly.com and issued the following statement:
"It has come to our attention that an email is being circulated with false and misleading information pertaining to Mr. Anthony Johnson. On behalf of Mr. Johnson we would like to address this issue. On June 27th Mr. Johnson was arrested in Hayward California and was charged with misdemeanors stemming from an alleged altercation with an ex-girlfriend.
Mr. Johnson is completely and unequivocally innocent of all charges. These charges are completely outside the realm of Mr. Johnson’s character; he has no prior criminal record and has never been in trouble with the law. Furthermore, any assertion that the UFC played a part in posting his bail or in covering up the incident is completely untrue. Unfortunately, professional athletes are frequently made the victim of such false accusation.
As this has been a stressful time for Mr. Johnson, we ask that judgment is withheld until all relevant facts have come to light."

If the charges are in fact true I'll go on the record and say AJ is a big time dildohead and I hope he loses every fight he has from now on in the UFC.
What an effin jerk. I hate this kind of s---.

So what we can gather is he was having an altercation with an ex, it got out of hand, he took her cell phone from her for whatever reason blah blah. If it's true he's a two-bit c---sucker and should have to fight Thiago Alves next.

I can easily see how this could be some ex-girlfriend starting some s---, the argument getting heated and him yelling at her, her threatening to call the cops and him breaking her phone, no hitting involved. In which case I understand, you make bad decisions in the heat of the moment when emotions are involved, but if he hit her, he's a piece of s---.

Actually it's quite tasteless but, the content of the thread made me think of it. Dudes beating on chicks is not cool or funny but, I like to fire that one off from time to time just for shock value.

How can one be "completely and unequivocally innocent of all charges" while you don't have all the "relevant facts?"

Well, exactly. Statements from his agent have about as much clout as statements from his mom.

lets turn this into a touchy subject debate.
The "problem" with battered women is 90% of them don't want help.
How many chances do they have to leave, and dont.
It is worse with kids - how many times do they say they want to leave and it would be best for the kids, but gee golly they just love him so so much they cant do it!
there are of course the situations where it truly is impossible for them to leave - and those should be dealt with according and there are no good reasons to hit a woman period - this is not an excuse for guys who beat women.
If this is true - the CHANCES are AJ has been beating on this woman for years, and she still calls him, still has him come over, still keeps him in her life of her own choice.
At that point I lose my sympathy.

AJ is innocent until proven guilty in my book. I dont think its cool to hit women, but there is no proof he actually did. I know way too many chicks that pull bulls--- like this and AJ is an even bigger target since he is a pro-athlete. Sorry ladies, but until I see pictures of black eyes or some sort of proof or confession, AJ is innocent imo.
