SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — Former two-time UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez has been charged with attempted murder and multiple gun assault charges after authorities said he fired at a pickup truck carrying a man accused of sexually abusing a 4-year-old family member.
Velasquez was arrested Monday after he allegedly chased a pickup carrying the man through busy streets in three Silicon Valley cities, ramming the vehicle with his own pickup truck during the high-speed chase.
Prosecutors say he fired a .40-caliber pistol at the vehicle several times, wounding the man's stepfather, who was driving.
Celebrity attorney Mark Geragos is representing Velasquez. Geragos did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
