Brandon Figueroa arrested on suspicion of drunken driving in Texas
Featherweight contender Brandon Figueroa was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving Sunday near his home in Weslaco, Texas, according to multiple reports.
Figueroa’s blood alcohol content was measured at more than .15 percent, which is almost double the legal limit of .08 in Texas, ESPN reported.
The 25-year-old was released on a $1,000 bond, according to the outlet.
Figueroa (23-1-1, 18 KOs) is a former 122-pound titleholder who moved up to 126 for his last fight, a sixth-round technical knockout of Carlos Castro in July.
He currently has no fight scheduled.
