Robert Guerrero, Floyd Mayweather's Next Opponent, Arrested For Gun Possession at JFK Airport, Facing Felony Charges

Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown today announced that current WBC welterweight champion Robert Guerrero has been arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport and charged with illegally traveling with an unloaded pistol and three unloaded high capacity bullet magazines.

The weapon and 15-bullet clips were discovered during a routine pre-flight check-in this morning. District Attorney Brown said, “I hope that Mr. Guerrero fights better than he thinks. For anyone who hasn’t gotten the message, let me be crystal clear. You cannot bring an unlicensed weapon – loaded or unloaded – into this county or this city. And if you do you will be arrested and face felony charges.”

Guerrero (31-1-1), whose 30th birthday was yesterday, is scheduled to fight Floyd Mayweather on May 4th in Las Vegas. He is coming off a decision victory over Andre Berto in November and hasn’t lost since 2006.
