Update: Darren’s Facebook status posted “Lots of excitement building for our upcoming sale, all the horses looking good!” at 8am Thursday. The COTH Forum shut down their thread, which was getting a little out of control, but chatter is picking up on the H&H Forum.
According to the website www.mugshotsocala.com, and several EN sources in Ocala, Darren Chiacchia was arrested Wednesday morning for having sex with a partner without disclosing that he is HIV positive. Mugshotsocala.com (homepage) is a site that publishes the public record arrest files of all people arrested in Marion County, FL. We would not publish this if we did not believe the arrest news is 100% legit. Darren Chiacchia has represented the USA internationally multiple times, including the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
