Joe Frazier's mugshot
On February 13, 2004, legendary boxer Joe Frazier was arrested and charged with simple assault and reckless endangerment.
Police responded to a call made by the mother of Frazier’s son. When police arrived, she had facial injuries, which led to Frazier’s arrest.
The charges were dropped because the victim wouldn’t testify in court.
Frazier made his professional boxing debut on August 16, 1965, where he defeated Woody Goss by TKO.
