Police arrested MMA fighter Diego Sanchez for allegedly dismissed his weapon via an accident at Albuquerque.
Albuquerque, NM – The police arrested the veteran of the UFC, Diego Sanchez, for having allegedly dismissed his weapon via an accident at Albuquerque.
According to a criminal complaint, a white Jeep was on Thursday on an accident on the I-40 in the west direction of the university boulevard when the police heard a strong blow from a pistol that the passenger fired. The police followed the Jeep and arrested it in the sixth street and facade road district.
An officer put the handcuffed passenger and placed it in police custody. They identified him as Diego Sanchez.
Sanchez would have told the police that there was a firearm at the back of the vehicle, but denied having fired the vehicle. However, the driver would have told the police that Sanchez had shot a gun and that he had started to laugh afterwards.
Investigators say that while taking a look in the vehicle, they found three lives live on the front passenger side of the vehicle and a pistol in the back pocket of the driver’s seat.
Diego Sanchez now faces charges of shooting on or from a motor vehicle and negligent use of a firearm. He is now in the metropolitan detention center.
The accident slowed down the i-40 for a ramp on Thursday evening.
