Conor McGregor arrested, charged with strong-arm robbery after allegedly smashing fan’s phone

Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor is under arrest once again, this time in Florida.

The Irish superstar has been in South Beach celebrating his mother’s 60th birthday, but has been booked for allegedly smashing a man’s phone (supposedly worth $1,000) outside the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel.

An arrest report said the incident occurred Monday when a man approached McGregor and attempted to take a picture of McGregor while exiting the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel.

”The defendant slapped the victim’s phone out of his hand, causing it to all to the floor. The defendant then stomped on the victim’s phone several times, damaging it,” the report reads.
