The L.A. City Attorney has decided to hit Chavez with 3 misdemeanor charges: 2 for drunk driving and 1 for driving without a valid license.
If convicted on all counts, Chavez could face up to a year in county jail and a $1,000 fine.
The boxer is due back in court to face the judge later this month.
