Floyd Mayweather Jr. has been arrested in Las Vegas following the domestic violence claims made by his baby mama.

As we first reported, Josie Harris called the police at around 5 AM yesterday from her home in Vegas — and when cops arrived she told them the professional boxer had attacked her and threatened to kill her.

According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Mayweather was arrested and booked for grand larceny related to the domestic incident. According to the report, Mayweather allegedly took personal items from Harris’ house.

Mayweather was booked and held on $3,000 bail.

The Las Vegas Metro Police Department has recommended that Floyd Mayweather Jr. should also be charged with domestic violence … in addition to the grand larceny charge he was arrested for earlier today.

The LVMPD claims Mayweather surrendered to authorities earlier this morning in connection with an alleged domestic incident with his baby mama Josie Harris.

Cops tell us Mayweather was booked on one count of felony grand larceny … but the LVMPD claims they have recommended that the Clark County District Attorney’s Office also hit the boxer with “the additional charge of battery domestic violence.”

The cops add that the D.A. will “evaluate the evidence in this case to determine the appropriateness of [the domestic violence] charge.”
