Adrien Broner, fresh off of his 9th round TKO over Ashley Theophane this past Friday on SPIKE TV, turned himself into authorities this morning as promised. There were some concerns that the Broner-Theophane fight would be called off after it was reported that authorities in Broner’s hometown had issued a warrant for the Cincinnati native. The warrants were in connection to an incident that took place on January 21st.
The DC Boxing and Wrestling Commission only licensed Broner after they were given written assurance that he would turn himself over to authorities by Monday. Broner did so and posted a tweet on his official Twitter account the moment he was submitting himself to police.
Time to turn myself in…… I love all the support you people been giving me #AboutBillions https://t.co/2Ke5li0LHn

A few hours later, Broner posted another tweet regarding his status as a free man. It was expected that Broner would get the chance to make bail and post it.
They let me out y’all…. #AboutBillions #ImGood https://t.co/p2hmKQdoAp

Broner is accused of assaulting a man over a dispute at a bowling alley where he and the alleged victim were gambling over bowling games. Broner allegedly knocked the man out and took the wagered money.
