Luis Peña has issued his first public statement after news of his recent arrest and criminal charges were made public last week.
Last week, it came to light that UFC lightweight Luis Peña was arrested by the Coral Springs Police Department and charged for robbery by sudden snatching, battery, and criminal mischief. Allegedly, Peña suddenly grabbed his girlfriendâs cell phone during a heated argument about her talking to other men and then threw the phone down to the ground, thus shattering it.
