The arrest occurred for exceeding the duration of his visa and for alleged falsification in an application to obtain a green card. This arrest occurred a few days after a fight with the renowned American boxer Jake Paul in Los Angeles.\n\nSince 2019, the Mexican prosecutor’s office has investigated the 39-year-old boxer following a complaint filed by U.S. authorities against the Sinaloa Cartel for organized crime, human trafficking, arms trafficking, and drug trafficking.\n\nAfter being detained for almost a month and a half, Ch\u00e1vez Jr. was deported on August 19 and handed over to agents of the Attorney General’s Office in the state of Sonora, who transferred him to the Federal Social Readaptation Center in Hermosillo.\n\nThe case has led to investigations against 13 people, including Ovidio Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez, son of the drug trafficker Joaqu\u00edn “El Chapo” Guzm\u00e1n, as well as several collaborators, hitmen, and accomplices of the criminal organization.

In 2012, he was found guilty of driving under the influence in Los Angeles and sentenced to 13 days in jail.\n\nIn early 2024, he was arrested for weapons possession.
