Sugar Ray Leonard Seeks Restraining Order After Son’s Arrest

A handwritten court filing accuses his son of years of drug addiction, multiple overdoses and theft and prompted a judge to issue a temporary restraining order until a June 15 hearing.

Overview

  • Leonard says a physical altercation at his Pacific Palisades home on May 19 led him to request court protection for himself, his wife and his daughter.
  • He filed a handwritten declaration on May 20 that alleges his 25-year-old son has been addicted for years, has overdosed multiple times and has stolen money and valuables.
  • A judge granted a temporary restraining order that requires the son to stay roughly 100 yards away and to move out of the family home, with the order set for review on June 15.
  • Police arrested the son early on May 20 for allegedly violating the temporary order and Los Angeles County records show he remained in custody until May 22; a criminal hearing on the alleged violation is set for June 25.
  • All allegations come from Leonard’s court filing and public records and have not been adjudicated, so outcomes could include a permanent restraining order, criminal charges from the alleged violation, or private family resolution.
