Pro fighter arrested after scaling Miami high-rise during SWAT standoff

One man was taken into custody after a Miami police SWAT team swarmed an Edgewater apartment building overnight.

The investigation was the result of a domestic dispute several weeks ago and the police were there to serve a warrant, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. He said SWAT was called in because the man was not cooperating with the authorities.

According to Miami police, during the execution of the warrant at Bay Parc apartments, 1756 N Bayshore Drive, Peter Peraza ran to the balcony of the 19th floor apartment and then scaled down the side of the building. He then entered a unit on the 7th floor. The resident of that apartment was not home, but he alerted the building management company after seeing Peraza on surveillance cameras installed inside his home. SWAT then took Peraza, 35, into custody.

Peraza, a bare knuckle fighter, goes by “Dirt 2 Gold” on social media and has over 50,000 followers on Instagram…
