El Paso County Jail records show Trout, 27, was arrested about 4:30 a.m. Tuesday. He was booked into the jail at 8:50 a.m. the same day, and released about two hours later after posting a $105 bond.
According to an El Paso police report obtained by the El Paso Times, several officers from the Westside Regional Command Center were dispatched to the Taco Cabana restaurant, 7800 N. Mesa, about 2:30 a.m. Tuesday on a fight call.
When the officers arrived, they saw several people yelling inside the restaurant. One officer entered the restaurant and noticed chairs, tables, food and drinks "strewn about the floor."
Employees at the Taco Cabana pointed out those allegedly involved in the fight, including Trout, the WBA world junior middleweight champion, and three others, identified in the report as Daniel Man Kim, Antonio Brown and Selina Ortega.
When an officer asked one employee to step outside of the restaurant to get more information about the incident, the group allegedly "became enraged" and started to follow the officer outside. Several officers then told members of the group to leave the area for the officers' safety. One of the officers, while speaking to some of those allegedly involved in the fight, stated in the report he noticed "the strong odor of an unknown alcoholic beverage emanating from their persons."
Those arrested, including Trout, also allegedly had "slurred speech and unsteady balance."
In the report, Trout's occupation is listed as "boxer," while Ortega's occupation is listed as an "assistant" for No Doubt Entertainment.
Trout's arrest comes about a month after his unanimous-decision victory over boxing legend Miguel Cotto at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
