Former UFC fighter Anthony "Rumble" Johnson made the most of his Bellator debut with a second-round knockout of Jose Augusto at Bellator 258 at the Mohegan Sun in Connecticut on Friday (May 7). However, hours after his big victory, Johnson is now facing legal trouble after being arrested on outstanding identity theft charges.
Johnson was arrested around 11 pm PST at the Mohegan Sun on charges of third-degree identity theft and receipt from illegal use of a credit card on Friday after his win. Anthony is being accused of using a man's credit card without his permission to purchase a plane ticket from Ft. Lauderdale to Newark, NJ in 2019. He was booked and charged with the Class D felony and released on a $500 bond.
The charge carries a maximum sentence of five years in jail and a $5,000 fine. Johnson is scheduled for a June 8 court date.
