Robert Guerrero Pleads Guilty in his NY Gun Case
(AP) Gilroy, Calif. (May 14th, 2013) —Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero is the current World Boxing Council welterweight boxing champion and on Tuesday he dodged a legal punch from New York prosecutors by making a plea deal.
Guerrero, 30, lives and trains in Gilroy. In March, he was arrested in John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City for carrying an unloaded pistol and three high-capacity bullet magazines inside a locked gun box while trying to board a flight.
He was charged with one count of criminal possession of a firearm and three counts of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon. But as part of a plea deal, Queens prosecutors dropped all charges except one disorderly conduct charge, which Guerrero pleaded guilty to.
The boxer must pay a $250 fine, complete 50 hours of community service, and surrender his gun and magazine.
The gun was legally registered to the boxer in California but was not legal to carry in New York.
The biggest boxing match of Guerrero’s career happened on May 4, when he lost to Floyd Mayweather at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
