UFC welterweight Anthony Johnson arrested for domestic violence on June 27 (Updated)

MMAmania.com has been able to confirm with the Hayward Police Department that UFC welterweight fighter Anthony Johnson was arrested on June 27 in Hayward, California on misdemeanor charges including domestic battery involving his ex-girlfriend.
"Rumble" was also charged with criminal threats and the destruction of a cell phone to prevent the reporting of a crime. He was arrested shortly after contacting police about the incident.
Johnson posted bail and was released later that day. He is scheduled for a pretrial hearing on July 17. The Johnson camp was not available for comment but is expected to issue a statement shortly.
***UPDATE: The Johnson camp has issued the following statement via MMAFrenzy:
"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. We ask that judgment is withheld until all relevant facts are known."
The surging UFC welterweight is currently on the sidelines nursing a knee injury that forced him to withdraw from his 170-pound showdown against Matt Brown at the June 20 Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 9 Finale.
Johnson most recently avenged his controversial loss to Kevin Burns at UFC Fight Night 14 last December, knocking the Iowan senseless with a brutal head kick in the opening seconds of round three. He followed that up with a first round destruction of Luigi Fioravanti at UFC Fight Night 17 back in February.
The 24-year-old Atlanta, Ga., native has a ton of buzz because of his size, power and fight-finishing ability. He appears to get better each time out, training with Strikeforce champions Cung Le and Josh Thomson.
His road to the upper echelon of 170-pound fighters, however, will now be put on indefinite pause until he can resolve this latest setback.
(Thanks to "MMA Newshound" for the tip)

there is plenty of white trash in the ghetto. and it doesn’t matter where johnson grew up because the image that he portrays is that of a ghetto thug. thus, beating a woman and saying, “oh yeah, i’m real krunk” during your post fight interview makes you ghetto trash.

I’m confident Zuffa and Dana will deliver their own form of punishment. No, not like legal or any such thing like that, but much how they did with Melvin Guillard. They will talk to him, and put it to him in no uncertain terms that he has to behave above this kind of nonsense and keep his act together otherwise he will be without a career that could make him rich.

Rampage’s case was very different. With Rampage, Dana was like ‘oh shit, my fighter’s lost his damn mind, I need to go find out what’s wrong with him’. Also, Rampage is a big star and a PPV draw. Dana was protecting his investment.
This is a common enough case of alleged domestic violence and there’s no need for Dana to get involved. I don’t remember him getting involved with Hermes Franca’s DUI or Chris Leben’s charges either.

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.

Let me take a second to educate you guys on something. A man can catch a domestic if the girl even feels threatend, i.e. talking loud, calling names, invading space (without contact), there are many things that a girl who is out to get back at a man can do. I know cause I have to take a Batterers Education Class and I never touched her. We don’t know for sure he hit her. Look at the Steve McNair case.

in my opinion no one was actually there, so no one really knows what happened, maybe she started hitting, maybe she just claims he hit her, maybe its a crazy bitch with psychotic problems.
i dont know why people start saying all this shit towards this respectable athlete.
even if he did hit her, she probably deserved it, and im sure the justice department will take care of the necessary punishment or whatever, no need for the UFC to take any action or you guys to talk negative.
be careful with drawing conclusions

As has been stated many times above – we don’t know the facts. Don’t just presume this means he spent three 5 minute rounds with the bitch. She could have been attacking him and he just shoved her away and hit the manic black woman alarm – “Oh no you di’nt, my daddy doesn’t even lay a finger on me, where’s ma phone, po-lice, PO-LICE, RAPE, MURDER…” (for full effect stand with hands on hips rocking head side-to-side with eyes bulging at least 1/2" forward of their usual position).
On the other hand he may have laid the smack down on her ass – but lets wait for evidence before condemning the man. I’d like to see a pic of her actually because I remember a certain Mike Tyson being accused of bare-knuckle beating his woman – though oddly there was no mark on her, which is pretty incredible considering who it was hitting her – must have been one of those Karate women who bleed on the inside ;)

African Americans, especially African American Women, suffer deadly violence from family members at rates decidedly higher than for other racial groups in the United States. However, it is observed that research concerning family violence among African Americans is inadequate.
…•Overall, African Americans were victimized by intimate partners a significantly higher rates than persons of any other race between 1993 and 1998. Black females experienced intimate partner violence at a rate 35% higher than that of white females, and about 22 times the rate of women of other races. Black males experienced intimate partner violence at a rate about 62% higher than that of white males and about 22 times the rate of men of other races.Callie Marie Rennison. and Sarah Welchans, U.S. Dep’t of Just., NCJ 178247, Intimate Partner Violence (2000), available at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/ascii/ipv.txt
….
•African-American women experience significantly more domestic violence than White women in the age group of 20-24. Generally, Black women experience similar levels of intimate partner victimization in all other age categories as compared to White women, but experience slightly more domestic violence. (Estimates are provided from the National Crime Victimization Survey, which defines an intimate partner as a current or former spouse, girlfriend, or boyfriend. Violent acts include murder, rape, sexual assault, robbery, aggravated assault, and simple assault.)
…….
•Approximately 40% of Black women report coercive contact of a sexual nature by age 18.
…..
•The number one killer of African-American women ages 15 to 34 is homicide at the hands of a current or former intimate partner.
…http://www.abanet.org/domviol/statistics.html
Not to say it does not happen in the suburbs because I grew up watching most of my friends moms cowaring to their drunken Irish husband or playing the field Italian mafia dad, but the numbers don’t lie. The first sentence says significantly higher rates then any other race….

I agree some comments have been ridiculous, some have been blatantly racist whilst others actually seem to condone wifebeating.
Personally I don’t take race into consideration, I judge people on their actions and in this case it looks like Rumble was in the wrong. He may not have done it, in which case I apologise in advance, but if he did then I’ve lost all respect for him. I was a Chris Brown fan but after he assualted Rihanna on my birthday I lost all respect for him.
Unfortunately some famous people who we become fans of commit awful crimes and personally I won’t defend them for breaking the law just because I’m a fan of theirs. I was a Chris Benoit fan but after what he did to his family he doesn’t deserve any sympathy, his crimes were sickening. Guys like him and Justin Levens are cowards and I’ll remember them as murderers rather than for their achievements. I find it mind boggling when people still pay tribute to a man who murdered his wife and kid, then to top it all off was too much of a coward to face the consequences of his crimes.

I still like him, and will continue to do so until the details of the case come out, if he’s a piece of shit wife-beater I’ll take a different view, if things are being blown out of proportion I’ll just dislike his girlfriend for being one of those typical hanger-on slag types who’s out for what she can get.
Reminds me of a case this week in the UK news – a 50 year old, respected Science teacher has been arrested for attempted murder after hitting a student with a blunt object… Now that sounds pretty one-sided, I’d bet a nut that the little shit was mouthing off at him, probably attacked him, most likely with a weapon – but in the UK the criminal scum are always protected and parents of these young shits stand up for them regardless (while the rest of the day they sit in front of TV wearing gold chains, white tracksuits and drinking cheap cider while smoking their 60th cigarette, not knowing where their kids are).
We need to get some vigilante shit going in the UK I swear, the scum are taking over but you’re not allowed to defend yourself or you’re locked away for life.

Sounds like USA ver 1.1 , just move here and get used too it faster.
You cant even shoot somebody in your front yard if they are trying too break in your house or still your car or anything else..
Victims have less rights then the perps.

What an idiot, he has everything going for him and he goes and does something stupid. Why can’t people just use their heads and think before reverting to yelling, throwing or hitting others.

Jesus f’ing Christ! Lester- remind me what you had to say when Justin Eilers was murdered by his white family member? Or when Justin Levens murdered his wife then killed himself? IFL veteran Devin Cole pleading guilty to assault & sexual harassment with a chick outside of a bar last June? Joe Son arrested for gang raping chicks?
What was your scientific fact based opinion on that?

It is so easy for everyone to sit in judgement, especially when you can be anonymous. You weren’t there, you don’t what happened, you don’t know what lead up to this situation getting out of hand. There are always at least two sides to every story and the truth usually lies somewhere in between. He’s a good guy, no previous troubles. We are all a heartbeat away from losing it from time to time…especially when someone continually pushes our buttons. We ALL make mistakes. To quote Natalie Portman “The worst thing about our society is that it revels in people’s difficult times.” Let the court of law settle the matter not the public. For the record, I am a female.
