A well-known former mixed martial artist is now fighting his battles in court.

Wesley John Correira Jr., aka “Cabbage,” pleaded not guilty Thursday in Hilo Circuit Court to first-degree burglary and second-degree theft.

Trial is set for Aug. 1 at 8:30 a.m. before Circuit Judge Glenn Hara.

Correira is accused of burglarizing a Hawaiian Paradise Park home Sept. 1, 2009. According to police, a television and assorted electronic equipment and games valued at $4,200 were taken.

Police arrested the 32-year-old Correira Wednesday afternoon in the Walmart parking lot. He was also charged with an additional second-degree theft charge, for allegedly taking an iPhone from behind the counter of a Makaala Street store April 8, plus failure to appear and two counts of contempt of court.
