A hotel representative said Garcia did more than $15,000 in damage based on an initial estimate, according to Lt. Chris Coulter.
Vandalism can carry a felony charge if the damage exceeds $400, according to California law.

Coulter said Garcia, 25, had “medical complaints” and was taken to a hospital, where he was released. Coulter said he had no additional information about the medical complaints.
Garcia was issued a court date and the case will be submitted to the district attorney’s office, which will decide whether to file formal charges, according to Coulter, who said he did not know the court date.

Garcia had exhibited erratic behavior for several weeks leading up to the fight that he won by majority decision.
Golden Boy Promotions, which represents Garcia, did not immediately respond to a request for comment submitted by email.
