"Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight competitor, Hermes Franca, was arrested last night by the Jupiter Police Department in Jupiter, Fla for a DUI offense ... According to the report, Franca was arrested at 2:38am by an officer who suspected the fighter was under the influence of alcohol or drugs."May 2011
It has come to light that former UFC lightweight title contender, Hermes Franca has been jailed on seven counts of first-degree sexual abuse and two counts of second-degree unlawful sexual penetration, something that relates to actions during a one month period at the end of 2010. Greg Warner, chief deputy in the Clackamas County District Attorney’s office, revealed the news to USA Today, adding an initial bail was set at $250,000, according to county jail records. A hearing is set for Friday to determine the actual bail amount.
The fighter tested positive for steroids after his failed championship bout with Sean Sherk in July 2007 and was served by a one-year suspension and a $2,500 fine. He retired for nine months last year before returning to action in September and has since gone 3-3. Stay tuned to MMABay for more on this as we get it.
