Hector "Macho" Camacho in jail?

Question

for "stealing" his own computer from a store??

How can you be put in jail for that? Where did this happen?

Answer 1

If you knew Hector, you wouldn't be surprised, Hector has always been a character.  I could tell you stories about the little $hit that would make fiction seem tame.  Johnny Tapia may have though he lived a loco life, but believe me he had nothing on Hector.  Last I heard Hector was doing 7 years for robbing that computer store, odds are good he will do 2 or 3 then get out for early parole.  Sad the way it turned out for him, he fought everyone who was anyone in his storied career, and his list of opponents reads like a who's who in boxing over the past 20 years.

I don't know the particulars of Hector's current legal problem, but I am aware of some of Hector's antics outside the ring.  When Hector fought as a co-main event at a Detroit Area Hearns fight years back, Hector left quite an impression in my neighbor hood.  This is not the forum for where this discussion is going so I will end with this.  There are always circumstances leading up to trouble like what Hector got into, and it was unfortunate that people who excel in some areas of life, sometimes fail in others areas.  I wish no ill on Hector and truly hope he gets it together, he was a great boxer, but as a person, like anyone else he had flaws.

Wow, if that is true, that's pretty crazy. I heard he dipped back into drugs and alcohol, so stealing from a store isn't far-fetched.
