The UFC star has yet to enter a plea and has not released any statement about the incident.
But, McGregor did end his social media silence on Monday morning as he posted a picture of him being led away into a car.
There is no words to accompany the picture, but there is a folded hands emoji. Its certainly a cryptic post from the disgraced MMA superstar.

The UFC have yet to take any action against McGregor, but plans for the 29-year-old to return this September to fighting have been put on hold.
Dana White, UFC president, has refused to say whether the company will ban McGregor after his actions led to two UFC fighters being injured and three fights at UFC 223 cancelled.
McGregor was attempting to confront lightweight rival and the new undisputed champion Khabib Nurmagomedov before attacking the bus.
Nurmagomedov had cornered and appeared to slap McGregors team-mate, Artem Lobov, earlier in the week and the incident seems to have been payback for the Russian threatening Lobov.
McGregor has returned to Ireland after being granted permission to leave the US, but must return for the hearing in June.
Statement from McGregor's manager Audie Attar
So much rumour and misinformation about my client, Conor McGregor. The matter is in the hands of law enforcement and I cannot really say more. Conor is a great father, a fiercely loyal friend, and one of the best athletes in the world. He looks forward to get back to fighting as soon as possible.
