LOS ANGELES — Mercurial boxer Ryan Garcia caught a break Tuesday when a judge dismissed a misdemeanor vandalism charge against him over the objections of the Los Angeles County district attorney's office. Garcia, 26, responded with a post on social media: "No way I'm going to jail." He also attacked the inclusion of LGBTQ+ music and pop culture performers during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics with a string of profane social media posts. In court, however, the judge focused on Garcia fulfilling his restitution to the hotel in dismissing the vandalism charge. ©2024 Los Angeles Times.
