TNA suspends Rich Swann

TNA has suspended Rich Swann for an arrest that happened in June, an arrest they weren’t aware of.

PostWrestling.com reports that Swann was charged with disorderly public intoxication and causing a disturbance.

Police arrested Swann for mistaking an nearby apartment as his own and attempting to enter it. In doing so, Swann damaged the front door. Swann insisted it was his home until the owner produced a firearm at which time Swann left the scene. The home owner didn’t press charges.

That isn’t all though. Another neighbor called police after Swann followed her home.

In their report, an Officer Hoskins wrote: “I asked if Richard had any drinks containing alcohol. He stated that he did. When asked how many, he stated, ‘A lot.’ I asked Richard when did he start to drink and he told me around 1900 hours,” about three hours earlier. n[Swann’s] actions while intoxicated caused multiple disturbances and his behavior caused several residents concern for their safety.”

TNA issued this statement: “TNA Wrestling takes any and all charges against its performers seriously. Rich Swann is responsible for his own personal actions.  He has informed TNA Wrestling that he is voluntarily entering into a substance abuse rehabilitation program. TNA Wrestling has suspended Rich pending the completion of its investigation into the incidents.”

Swann will appear in court this week to answer to the charges.

Back in 2017 Rich Swann was charged with kidnapping/false imprisonment and battery after an argument with his wife, current TNA talent Su Yung. In 2018, all charges against Swann were dismissed when prosecutors stated that there was “insufficient evidence” to move forward.
