On Monday, Denver District Attorney Mitch Morrissey announced that he had charged Alvarado with one count of possession of a weapon by a previous offender.
Early on January 3, 2015, Alvarado was driving a silver Hummer with an expired license near 18th and California streets. A Denver police officer stopped the car, which was being driven by Alvarado, and found that he had two active Adams County warrants in his name -- one for a felony weapons beef, the other for a traffic misdemeanor. She then searched his car and found a handgun in the glove box, precipitating his arrest for possession of a weapon by a previous offender.
Alvarado has been released from custody on a $3,500 bond. The promoter says the fight will go on as planned..
