Star boxer Jermall Charlo has been formally hit with a DWI charge following allegations he drunkenly crashed his Lamborghini in Texas back in May.
According to court documents, obtained by TMZ Sports, in addition to the DWI … prosecutors also levied a misdemeanor leaving the scene of an accident charge against Charlo. Court records show officials formally filed the misdemeanor counts against the 34-year-old pugilist on Aug. 20.
As we previously reported, Charlo was first arrested in the case on May 6 — when cops claimed Charlo slammed his red Urus into another car on a Brazoria County roadway.
Authorities say the professional fighter got into a verbal spat with the other driver after the wreck — and then fled the scene.
Cops said they were able to track him down … and claimed he showed signs of intoxication during ensuing questioning. Authorities ultimately alleged he had a BAC of .15 or more.
At the time of the arrest, Charlo’s attorney, Kent Schaffer, said he and his client were “optimistic that there will be a good solution.”
Charlo is due in court for a hearing on the matter on Nov. 7.
