According to a report from authorities in Arcade, Georgia, former WEC champ Brian Bowles has been arrested on several weapons and drug charges.

A Facebook post from the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office claims that Bowles has been arrested and charged with “Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of a Schedule IV Drug, Possession of Schedule IV Drug with Intent to Sell, Possession of Marijuana, Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Sell, Possession of Tools for the Commission of a Crime and Possession of a Firearm during the Commission of a Crime.”

The report says that the charges stem from a search warrant which was carried out a residence in Arcade. Police were reportedly sent to the residence in search of a female suspect, who had an arrest warrant out for her. A different woman, Rhomney Marie Moon, has also been charged with the offences outlined above.

Sherdog.com was the first to relay news of Bowles’ arrest.

Bowles hasn’t fought since May, 2013, when he was stopped by George Roop at UFC 160. Following the loss, Bowles tested positive for anelevated testosterone to epitestosterone (T/E) ratio and was suspended for nine months.
