The charges originate from a shooting last Friday in which a male with a rifle opened fire on people in the parking area of a venue called Rebar.

The guy was part of a group turned away from the bar because they were “inebriated,” San Antonio police Chief William McManus stated Saturday. McManus stated the man asked: “Do not you know who I am? I’m a UFC fighter from California.” He then brought a gun from his automobile.

Team was arrested without event and is in custody at the Miami-Dade County Jail. He is being held without bond ahead of his extradition, according to jail records, which do not list an attorney who can speak on his behalf.

San Antonio cops did not immediately react to concerns Thursday and have actually not offered any updates on the health of individuals injured in the shooting.
