Israel Adesanya likely won’t face criminal charges for taking brass knuckles through security at JFK Aiport in New York last month.
According to TMZ Sports, the Queens County (N.Y.) District Attorney issued Adesanya an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal (ACD), which means that the charges will be dismissed in six months if he isn’t arrested again in the county.
Adesanya was detained at JFK Airport on Nov. 16 when airport security discovered the brass knuckles in his luggage. The fighter’s manager, Tim Simpson, released a statement claiming that the weapons were given to Adesanya by a fan and that the charges were dismissed after the former UFC champion complied with authorities.
