Vinny Paz, the former five-time world champion who retired from fighting in 2004, was arraigned Wednesday, Jan. 3, for a charge of felony assault arising from an incident on the night of Jan. 1.
Paz, 55, reportedly went with his girlfriend to the home of a friend, 34-year-old Nathaniel Lavoie around 11:30 p.m. According to witnesses, Paz pounded on the door of the apartment at 310 Hawkins St. in Providence, Rhode Island, until Lavoie let him in.
