|  UFC Flyweight Ian McCall Arrested on Tuesday, No Longer in Police Custody
UFC Flyweight Ian McCall Arrested on Tuesday, No Longer in Police Custody Quote:
UFC flyweight Ian McCall was arrested in Irvine, Calif., on Tuesday. The news was first reported by Stu News Laguna, and MMAFighting.com confirmed the news with the Laguna Beach Police Department.
According to the report, McCall, 28, was arrested "without incident for two Harbor Court warrants for possession of narcotic paraphernalia, possession of prescription meds without a valid prescription, and driving on a suspended license."
A LBPD official said that McCall is "no longer in our custody," but wouldn't confirm exactly when he was released. They also wouldn't confirm exactly why he was arrested.
The report states that undercover Laguna Beach detectives and DEA agents were working on an investigation in Irvine on Tuesday morning when they recognized McCall. A warrant check revealed that he was wanted. McCall's bail was set for $16,500, according to the same report.
Prior to his UFC debut in March, "Uncle Creepy" talked openly about his brushes with the law and overcoming drug addiction.
"I've got so many reasons not to screw up now," he said. "My family, my wife, my daughter, my career. They're things I'm not going to squander again."
McCall wasn't available for comment when contacted by MMAFighting.com Friday night. The LBPD wouldn't release any more information about his arrest.

I really don't see the UFC cutting him. He has the look, is charismatic, and entertaining to watch. The UFC could really use him in solidifying this new division.

I hate to hear this as well. I've been a big McCall fan since his Tachi Palace days. I really hope if he is having drug problems, that through this he gets the help that he needs.

I wonder if this is why he had to back out of his last fight? Maybe he feared that he would fail his urinalysis.

Ya know these could be Old Warrants....lots of people either forget about them or they are not even aware of them until they get arrested......of course he could have been buying drugs when he was arrested or just at the wrong corner store at the wrong time. Would need more info to know for sure.....

16,500 is a lot for bail. Narcotics paraphenelia does that mean a crack pipe??? Hopefully he can get back on his feet.

Either way tho, love me some Uncle Creepy. Hope he gets his shit figured out.

Ian McCall Reps Reveal Details of His Arrest | MMAWeekly.com Quote:
UFC flyweight Ian “Uncle Creepy” McCall was arrested in Irvine, Calif., earlier this week, but the details surrounding that arrest have been confusing at best.
McCall’s criminal attorney, George Vargas, on Saturday clarified the facts surrounding his client’s arrest, as well as the details of his past that lead to him being picked up for two outstanding warrants, to MMAWeekly.com.
According to Vargas:
Quote:
In 2008, Ian was arrested for possession of prescription drugs without a prescription and paraphernalia. The paraphernalia was needles that he used to take the fluid out of his ears. Part of Ian’s punishment for that case was that he was to do 20 days of Cal Trans (physical labor).
The following year, Ian was having more troubles and he entered and completed a six-month residential drug treatment program at Nancy Clark’s The Recovery Center in Orange County. Ian completely turned his life around, began training hard and became the man he is today.
On June 14 of this year, Ian was pulled over for a traffic stop. He was given a ticket for PC14601 (driving on a suspended license). Ian’s license had been suspended for unpaid traffic and parking tickets.
The very next day, on June 15, Ian went to the Harbor Justice Center with his agent, and paid over $2,600 in fines. He mistakenly thought that the ticket from the previous day had been handled. A few weeks later, when the court date for that case came, Ian did not show and a warrant was issued for his arrest.
On Aug. 14, once again, Ian was stopped while driving home from the gym. At that time he was arrested for the two warrants: one for not completing the 20 days of Cal Trans work for the 2008 case, and the other for not showing up to court on the driving on a suspended license ticket that he had thought that he had handled.
Because McCall was on parole from previous charges and a warrant was issued in his name, the UFC flyweight must spend a mandatory time of 30 days in jail for his current arrest, according to his manager, Jason House of Iridium Sports.
| McCall is scheduled for a Sept. 13 release date.
