Was Sean Strickland arrested? Why UFC champion was kicked out of UFC White House event
https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/sean-strickland-arrested-why-ufc-022955315.html..........
Strickland was not technically arrested, but was removed from the UFC fan fest happening at the White House on Sunday by security and escorted out.
It wasn't Strickland's first time attempting to sneak into a UFC White House event over the weekend. He was also mobbed by fans when he made his way into a pre-fight press conference on Friday.
Strickland shared a photo to social media that showed him being led off the grounds by security.
It's unknown whether Strickland will officially be charged, but in a video posted to social media, he said he may be facing a disorderly conduct charge. In Washington D.C., that could be punishable by up to 90 days in jail, up to a $500 fine or both.

Wow, I just looked up Why he was banned, too. "Epstein Files" Good on him!
Sean Strickland claimed he was barred from attending the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House due to his vocal criticisms of the Trump administration's foreign policy and his public remarks about the Epstein files.
why PEDO banned a truth teller like Sean Strickland! 
And now he's being relentless!
