Ex-UFC Star Dustin Poirier Arrested … On ‘Public Drunk’ Charge
Published
It wasn’t exactly the Father’s Day Dustin Poirier had in mind … the retired UFC legend was arrested early Sunday evening in Georgia, TMZ Sports has learned.
Poirier, 37, was booked for “Public Drunk” — a misdemeanor — at 6:38 PM … before being released several hours later, a quarter after 10 PM.
It’s unclear what led up to Dustin’s arrest.
On Sunday, Dustin reposted a “Happy Father’s Day” post his wife shared with her followers on Instagram … showing DP with his two children, and everyone is all smiles.
Public drunkenness can carry up to one year in jail and/or a fine, if convicted.
Poirier, the former UFC Interim Lightweight champ, was one of the best 155 lb. fighters of his generation.
