Additional Info on Angle Arrest

EWrestlingNews.Com is reporting a little bit more information on the arrest of TNA Superstar Kurt Angle for being in possession of a motor vehicle while intoxicated. They are citing an article that was posted in The Grand Forks Herald.

News reports are stating that there was no ice storm on Thursday or Friday in Grand Forks, North Dakota and that the highways were actually clear, which would completely contradict Kurt's statements that he slid into 3 ft of snow during an ice storm. Also, they are reporting that it wasn't Kurt that called the police, but in fact a passer-by.

It should also be noted that despite the fact that he failed a field sobriety test and it is in the police report, Kurt claims that he was not at all intoxicated.

Patrol Capt. Kevin Robson stated that Kurt was very polite and a complete gentleman the entire time, which is good to hear. Angle posted 300 dollars and gave authorities a Pennsylvania driver's license before being released.

I should also note that reports are saying that Kurt did not appear out of the ordinary at all during the TNA house show that he had competed at earlier on.

Arrested

TMZ reported yesterday that Kurt Angle was arrested in Grand Forks, North Dakota, after police officers found him in the road. According to the celebrity news site, one of the officers smelled alcohol on Angle's breath and administered a field sobriety test, which he apparently failed. He was then taken into custody. Because the officers did not see Angle driving drunk, they charged him with being in possession of a motor vehicle while intoxicated.

Kurt responded to these allegations via his Twitter, which you can follow at AngleFoods1:

"Thank U to all of my supporters. I was not drunk. I was in an ice storm

and slid into 3 ft of snow median. I called police 4 help. They had other plans.

I was stuck and wanted to go back to my hotel. I was not passed out drunk.

I was co-herent. I'm sorry if I let you down. Don't believe everything you read.

My life is good and this is a speed bump in the road. The truth will come out.

God bless. I take responsibility for this. My job is to stay clean and never put myself in jeopardy. TMZ blew it out of proportion. After my hearings, I will give you

proper story. God bless. Kurt Angle. I love you all."

I just want to go out on the record and report that TMZ didn't really blow anything out of proportion, or even sensationalize it. This is also not the first time that Kurt has been accused of being behind the wheel while intoxicated; he was acquitted on charges about a year or two ago even though he had failed a sobriety test that was administered to him at his home.

Hopefully, between this and Jeff Hardy, that TNA will wake up a little bit and start doing more to help out their guys. This is alarming, especially for those who are fans of Kurt Angle.
