Demetrius Andrade arrested on gun charge

WBO middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade was caught ridin’ dirty early this morning in his hometown of Providence, according to a report from the Providence Journal. Police allege that they caught the 30-year-old world champion with a Glock 19 in the Louis bag while driving his Mercedes — but he apparently didn’t have a permit for the gun.

Police say they encountered Andrade at 2:30am, blocking traffic with his car while talking to a friend. When police approached him they say he was visibly nervous and glancing at his bag on the floor. At that point police found the handgun and a magazine with ten bullets. Andrade reportedly explained to police that he needed the gun for protection because to his money and fame.

“There’s no excuse for carrying a gun without a permit,” said Providence Police detective Maj. David Lapatin. “Whether you claim you’re transporting large amounts of money, or your life is in danger, you can make your case to get a permit [to carry a concealed weapon]. But you cannot obtain a gun and carry it in the city of Providence without one.”

Andrade was charged with a felony offense of carrying a gun without a license, not even two months removed from recapturing a world title against Walter Kautondokwa in late October, and only a few months since signing a lucrative deal with Eddie Hearn. After his arraignment Andrade was released on bail, but this could potentially be a problem for a fighter who was hoping to land a major fight with Canelo Alvarez in the near future.
The fighters he's beaten aren't even household names in their own household.

This was extremely foolish on Andrade's behalf.

He is one of those guys who makes bad choices and then tries to portray himself as a victim of circumstance.

I'm thinking a good lawyer is going to seriously question the officer's probable cause for searching Boo Boo's bag and finding a gun that wasn't in plain sight.

Too much talent to be this damn stupid. Hope he still gets his crack at a Charlo or Nelo himself.

More concerning than the gun charge....is 'Why' was he illegally carrying a gun?
Is this an indication he's involved in something he shouldn't be.

In the UK that might be more often true than not, in the US the opposite would be true . It is not illegal here to have and carry a gun, he was just doing it wrong.

Just an idiot then not to comply with gun laws.....has he got a record, is there a reason why he'd be denied a license to carry a concealed weapon?

Maybe he thought that lawless thug Billy Joe Dirt was gonna get Uk Boy Wasted off a good bag of meth and throw a Mazeltov Cornish Game Hen at him. Who knows. :)
