Arrest Prevents Bennett from Fighting 'Joe Boxer'
Tuesday, January 22, 2008
by Sherdog.com Staff

Charles Bennett (Pictures)'s inability to stay out of trouble with the law has once again resulted in him missing a scheduled fight.

The 28-year-old lightweight from Ocala, Fla., will be arraigned Tuesday for charges stemming from a domestic dispute on Jan. 9 -- Bennett's 25th arrest in Marion County since December 1997, according to media reports.

The arraignment comes just two days before "Krazy Horse" was scheduled to fight Victor Valenzuela (Pictures) for a third time in King of the Cage.

Matt Ver Halen (Pictures) has replaced Bennett (19-14-2) in the fight at San Manuel Casino in Highland, Calif., ProElite.com announced Monday.

Bennett, who is under contract with ProElite, the parent company of Showtime's EliteXC, failed to appear in a scheduled rematch with Valenzuela on June 22, 2007, after being arrested for a pair of probation violations.

Valenzuela knocked out Bennett when the two met in August 2007, erasing a previous draw following their first contest two years earlier.
