Wilder Reportedly Arrested Over Hidden Firearm As Andrew Tate Reacts

Ex-WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder was reportedly taken into custody on May 2nd, 2023, for carrying a hidden firearm.

According to TMZ, the police pulled over Wilder in Hollywood due to his Rolls Royce having the following: tinted windows and an obstructed license plate.

Additionally, the officers claimed to have smelled marijuana and discovered a 9mm firearm during the stop.

Reports indicate that Wilder was apprehended at 1:15 a.m. by the Los Angeles Police Department for approximately five hours. During that process, he was allegedly released on bail, amounting to $35,000.

With that being said, Wilder took to social media to comment on the ordeal.

I’d rather be safe than sorry. The End 🙏🏿

Therefore, boxing fans were glad to see the American out of harm’s way.
