Two months after being detained for driving under the influence and evading arrest, Alexander Emelianenko has once again been arrested for charges related to public alcohol consumption.
Emelianenko, 37, was detained after being spotted drinking in a children’s playground on Vostochnaya Street in Moscow. The heavyweight fighter was taken into police custody, where an administrative protocol was drawn up against him. The news was first reported by Russian state-run media source tass.ru, who cited a source within law enforcement.
