Mayweather Jr. Charged With Misdemeanor Harassment


Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. was hit with new misdemeanor harassment charges, as two security guards at the fighter’s upscale Las Vegas neighborhood are claiming that he threatened them for giving him several parking tickets.

The charges go back from an October 2010 incident where Mayweather grew upset after guards cited several of the boxer’s vehicles for being parked on the street in violation of the homeowners’ association rules.

The undefeated fighter then reportedly told the guards not to touch his cars before adding, “I already have a pending gun charge and I don’t want any problems, but my homeboys have guns and I’ll call them to come over and take care of you guys,”

Mayweather reportedly repeated the threat several time while laughing and removing the tickets from his cars.

No charges were filed at the time, but two weeks later, one of the guard called the police saying that he now wanted to press charges.

Mayweather is already facing misdemeanor battery charge stemming from allegations that he poked another guard in the face in a separate altercation over parking citations last November. He also faces felony charges in a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend last year.
