The 37-year-old was arrested in LA in the early hours of Tuesday. He was later released on bail and spoke about the incident on social media.
Former world heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder said he would"rather be safe than sorry" after a gun was allegedly found in his car by police in Los Angeles.
Wilder was searched by officers as part of a routine traffic stop in the early hours of Tuesday morning. He was pulled over because of an obscured number plate and excessive window tinting on his Rolls Royce, according to the LA Times. Police reportedly smelt marijuana which led to a wider search of the car, during which a quantity of the drug and a 9mm handgun were discovered.
