In due time the law is going to catch up with Adrien Broner but this time he is going to get by. He will be allowed to defend his Junior Welterweight Title on Friday against Ashely Theophane without any fear on being arrested.
Broner was charged with felonious assault and aggravated robbery after he allegedly attacked and robbed a man outside of a bowling alley in Cincinnati. The word is that Broner and the man he allegedly attacked has beef over some money from a bet from January 21st. Because the crime was committed in Cincinnati Ohio and that the warrant was only issued provincially instead of nation-wide, D.C. police aren’t expected to arrest Broner during his fight due to no responsibility ties to the warrant.
According to RingTV.Craveonline.com, Broner doesn’t have to turn himself in at this point.
“The warrant is just only for Ohio, for the local area here, so it does not affect his ability to be in other places,” said police source.
But will Broner have to turn himself in?
“At this point, he doesn’t have to do that. As a police department, that’s something that we would hope that he does as early as he could, come in, post the bond and then, if you’re out on bond, you can kind of go about your daily business until a court date is set. That’s what we hope he does. But again, it’s up to him and his attorney to determine what’s best for him.”
The fight is expected to air on Spike Friday at 9 p.m. with or without Broner present.
