Demetrius Andrade Arrested After Firearm Found in Car

Maybe good news for BJS.

According to the Providence Journal, WBO middleweight champion Demetrius Andrade was arrested Thursday after Providence police said they caught him driving with a handgun.

Andrade told officers that he carried the gun because of his fame and wealth. But after officers ran a check, it was discovered that the unbeaten boxer did not have a permit to carry the confiscated Glock 19 pistol that an officer found in a Louis Vuitton bag inside Andrade’s Mercedes.

“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.”

If you are going to carry a gun, you might as well keep it in a Luis Vuitton bag.

I was half paying attention and I read that as 'fireman'.

Why is this a good thing for BJS? Not like WBO are gonna strip him over it. It’s nothing to really do with boxing.
