Federal Charges Against Leonard Garcia Are Dropped

Federal charges against Leonard Garcia were dropped and he was released from house arrest.

“I just wanted to post this to let everyone know that I had the federal charges dropped. I am still dealing with the state but the charges aren’t as serious as they seemed. So I hope to be back in the cage soon … real soon. I’m just waiting on my excellent manager Steven (boogie) Bean to get that straightened out for me. I am gonna be the WEC lightweight champ soon, this is something I feel strongly about. So I’m telling everyone that is my goal and my dream and that is what I’m going to do so I will give it my all to do what I say I’m gonna do.”

Garcia still is facing obstruction of justice charges from Texas but feels he will get probation.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Garcia has always maintained that he was a victim by association.

Now all Garcia is getting ready for is a return to the Octagon. He was scheduled to fight on the August 3rd WEC card but is now looking to get on the September 10th card.
