WWE Pulling Jimmy Uso From TV? Higher Ups 'Pissed' After 'Smackdown' Star DUI Arrest
The WWE star Jimmy Uso has been arrested again for DUI for the second time in two years.
According to TMZ Sports, the police reported that he was driving in Florida with a BAC of .205, above Florida's legal limit of .08.
Based on the documents from the police, the 35-year-old Uso, real name Jonathan Fatu, was pulled over at 10:35 PM Monday, July 5.
The scene happened in Pensacola, where the cops reported he ran a red light after speeding at 50 MPH in a 35 MPH zone.
The police officers said during subsequent questioning, the WWE star smelled of alcohol, so they asked him to get out of his Dodge Charger car.
Just as he got out of the car, the police found him noticeably swaying, and they claimed that Uso consumed several bottles of beer before getting behind the wheel.
Officers said Uso also failed the field sobriety tests, which led to the star's arrest.
Jimmy Uso is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi and is currently featured in a prominent storyline with universal champion Roman Reigns.
