TMZ Sports reported the news.

"Law enforcement sources tell us a 911 call was made by Leonard's security team early Wednesday morning ... when Daniel Ray Leonard, 25, allegedly tried to enter the residence in Los Angeles by turning exterior door handles," they reported.

"We're told when officers arrived and met with security, Daniel was located by the pool house and was promptly arrested. We were initially told the suspect was known to the family ... but it turns out he is literally family -- Daniel Ray Leonard is Sugar Ray's youngest of four children, whose mother is Bernadette Robi."

Ultimately, Sugar Ray Leonard's son, Daniel, was arrested. He was taken into custody for violating a restraining order.

No public comment has been made from Sugar Ray Leonard's team as of yet.
