BJ Penn Arrested
“Anonymous reports to MAUIWatch have confirmed that Hawaii MMA star BJ Penn was arrested Saturday night at his hotel room after an altercation between him and his friend. Sources say he was staying at the Four Seasons Maui when police responded and encountered an inebriated Penn. According to the anonymous source, Penn severely assaulted the individual and left him fleeing back to the hotel room where the arrest was later made.”
“”The Prodigy” ended his career in heart breaking fashion after losing to Frankie Edgar by brutal TKO at The Ultimate Fighter 19 finals. The loss capped off a three fight losing skid that saw the former two-weight kingpin get crushed by Rory MacDonald and Nick Diaz in succession.
Initial reports were confirmed by Bloody Elbow after talking with the Kehei Police Department, and the sad news is that Penn was arrested in a drunken state too.
