Former WWE Star Arrested in Florida

Rich Swann, a former WWE cruiserweight champion and current TNA wrestler, was arrested in Florida on charges of disorderly public intoxication and causing a disturbance. The incident reportedly involved Swann attempting to forcefully enter an apartment, prompting the resident to arm himself and call the authorities. The resident described hearing loud banging at the door while preparing to shower, leading to a tense confrontation that ended with Swann leaving the property. Witness statements revealed that a woman in the vicinity felt threatened as Swann allegedly followed her before she managed to lock herself inside her home. The police were contacted after the resident decided to report the disturbance. Following the incident, TNA Wrestling announced that Swann would be entering a substance abuse program and has been suspended pending an investigation into the matter. This is not Swann's first run-in with the law; he was previously arrested in September 2022 for a similar disturbance while intoxicated at his apartment complex. TNA Wrestling emphasized its commitment to addressing any charges against its performers seriously, stating that Swann is responsible for his actions. Despite the recent arrest, Swann continued to participate in TNA events, wrestling just days after the incident. A plea status hearing for Swann has been scheduled for September 4, as the wrestling community watches closely to see how this situation unfolds.
