Bellator veteran Virgil Zwicker rammed and arrested by motorcycle cop during standoff

Former Bellator and Strikeforce fighter Virgil Zwicker, 37, was arrested in Temecula, CA last week after a “brief standoff,” according to Valley News. The standoff ended when Zwicker was intentionally hit with a motorcycle being driven by a Riverside County Sheriff’s deputy.

The incident began when sheriff’s deputies arrived at Zwicker’s home. They were reportedly there because of warrants for Zwicker’s arrest regarding firearms, stalking, and other related charges.

The deputies allegedly met Zwicker on his driveway in the Wolf Creek neighborhood. Investigators have reported that Zwicker refused the deputies orders before reaching into the cab of his vehicle.
