WWE star Jack Swagger (a/k/a Jacob Hager) was arrested on DUI charges and marijuana was found in his possession after the Smackdown taping in Mississippi. He was also charged with speeding. A WWE spokesman told TMZ.com that "Mr. Swagger is responsible for his own personal actions."
Swagger is getting a huge push and is currently the subject of mainstream media attention related to the controversy regarding his character as well as the Zeb Colter character. The timing could not have been worse.
WWE wrestler Jack Swagger (Donald Jacob Hager) is scheduled to appear in court on March 12 to face misdemeanor charges of speeding, driving under the influence, and possession of marijuana. "He was released on a summons to an acquaintance who picked him up at the police station," a police spokesman told Biloxi's SunHerald.com.
The story also notes that Swagger was driving a 2013 Ford Taurus when he was pulled over for speeding at 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday. WWE issued a statement earlier today:
WWE's Wellness Policy as listed on their corporate site does grant WWE the right to terminate Jack Swagger's contract for his recent arrest for marijuana possession. Section 14 of the policy reads:
"Any WWE Talent, who is arrested, convicted or who admits to a violation of law relating to use, possession, purchase, sale or distribution of drugs will be in material breach of his/her contract with WWE and subject to immediate dismissal.
