Conor McGregor was arrested for alleged dangerous driving and had his £140k Bentley seized on Tuesday.
The UFC superstar is understood to have been travelling along the N4 in Dublin between Lucan and Palmerstown when he came to garda attention. He was arrested for suspected road traffic offences after being pulled over, the Irish Independent reports.
McGregor was taken to Lucan garda station where he was charged and released on bail. His luxurious Bentley being driven at the time was also taken from his possession before later being returned.
The 33-year-old has been charged with dangerous driving and is set to appear before Blanchardstown district court next month. The charge of dangerous driving carries a maximum punishment of a fine up to €5,000 or six months imprisonment, or both, upon conviction.
A Garda spokesman confirmed that they arrested a man in relation to an incident on Tuesday, stating: "Gardaí arrested a man aged in his 30s in relation to an incident of dangerous driving in the Palmerstown area yesterday evening, Tuesday 22nd March 2022.
"The man was taken to Lucan Garda Station where he was later charged. He has been released pending an appearance before Blanchardstown District Court at a later date."
McGregor's spokesperson, Karen Kessler, said: “Mr. McGregor was driving to the gym when he was stopped by Gardai for alleged road traffic violations. He passed the drug and alcohol tests taken at the station."
McGregor is in the process of training for a UFC comeback. He is still recovering from the broken leg he suffered against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 but planning on a return to The Octagon later this year.
