Prosecutors say a Los Angeles city firefighter and mixed martial arts fighter has been charged with insurance fraud for allegedly filing false workers’ compensation claims.
The district attorney’s office says 35-year-old Raphael Davis was arrested at his Lomita home around 9 a.m. Wednesday without incident. He is being held on $30,000 bail.
Davis is charged with four felony counts.
Investigators say while Davis allegedly filed false claims, he was participating in mixed martial arts fights as “The Noodle.”
Davis faces up to five years in county jail if convicted.
