The Atlanta Police Department published new footage of UFC legend Dustin Poirier’s arrest for public intoxication earlier this year.

Dustin Poirier returned to the UFC’s broadcast desk last month for the first time since his arrest for public intoxication. After he was kicked off a plane at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, Poirier was arrested after berating flight attendants and other airport staff.

Poirier was quickly released on bond and faces up to a year in prison if convicted of the misdemeanor charge. As of this writing, Poirier’s role as a UFC analyst remains intact, but Paramount could potentially punish the former UFC title challenger for his conduct.

Initial footage of Poirier’s arrest showed him highly intoxicated and challenging one of the responding officers to a fist fight. Luckily, Poirier was eventually taken into custody without issue.

Poirier has since publicly apologized for the incident and revealed he’s dealt with alcohol abuse since retiring from fighting last year. His last fight came against then-BMF titleholder Max Holloway at UFC 318, losing by unanimous decision.

YouTuber Mark Fighting shared the full footage of Poirier’s arrest and detainment, courtesy of the Atlanta Police Department.

Several of Poirier’s longtime fighting adversaries, including Colby Covington and Conor McGregor, have scolded the former interim titleholder in the months following his arrest. UFC CEO Dana White shared a compassionate reaction to Poirier’s legal issues and revealed the promotion’s post-career care program for fighters.

As of this writing, Poirier hasn’t addressed the newly released footage of his June arrest.

Poirier isn’t the only former fighter dealing with legal issues since hanging up the gloves. Former UFC title challenger Anthony Smith faces a lengthy prison sentence if convicted of domestic violence, false imprisonment, and other charges linked to an altercation with his wife in Nebraska.
