A former U.S. Olympic medalist and rising boxing star was sent to jail after being accused of turning a South Beach parking lot into a ring.

Miami Beach officers arrested Shukar Stevenson early Sunday morning after the alleged Saturday night fight.

Social media posts show that the Newark, New Jersey native was in Miami celebrating his 21st birthday.

Stevenson was seen in Instagram posts before and after his arrest hanging out with hip-hop superstar Drake.
