Former UFC champion Cain Velasquez was charged with attempted murder and multiple gun assault charges.
SAN JOSE, California -- Former two-time UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez was charged Wednesday with attempted murder and multiple gun assault charges after authorities said he fired at a pickup truck carrying a man accused of sexually abusing a 4-year-old family member.
Velasquez, 39, appeared in court Wednesday but his arraignment was postponed until Monday. He is being held without bail at Santa Clara County Main Jail. Last week, deputies were called to a San Marin daycare owned by Goularte's mother regarding allegations of sexual assault involving a child, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office said in a statement Wednesday.
Later Monday, Morgan Hill police officers located Velasquez driving his pickup truck in San Jose and arrested him, Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in a statement.
