Floyd Mayweather Faces Battery Charge Against Security Guard

LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. is scheduled to appear Wednesday before a Las Vegas judge on a misdemeanor battery charge accusing him of poking a security guard in the face during an argument outside Mayweather's home.

The latest legal scuffle for the 33-year-old undefeated professional fighter stems from allegations that he "repeatedly" jabbed 21-year-old homeowner association guard Shayne Smith in the cheek after Smith wrote parking violations for two vehicles Nov. 15 outside Mayweather's house.

Mayweather's attorney, Richard Wright, was out of town Tuesday and unavailable for immediate comment.

Celebrity website TMZ first reported on the complaint filed Friday in Las Vegas Justice Court.

A police report obtained by The Associated Press alleges "willful and unlawful use of force" by Mayweather, one of boxing's most recognizable champions. He has won five different weight classes up to 154 pounds, with 25 of his 41 wins by knockout, and goes by the nickname "Money."
