According to Fox News, Liv Morgan, real name Gionna Daddio, recently saw a felony charge dropped after her arrest in Sumter County, Florida, last month on charges of marijuana possession. Morgan faced accusations of possessing marijuana (not exceeding 20 grams) and a synthetic cannabinoid. However, on Tuesday, officials decided to drop the charge related to the synthetic cannabinoid.
The decision to drop the charge was attributed to the challenge of proving that the THC, a component of marijuana, came from synthetic sources rather than plant sources. An assistant state attorney explained that no labs in the state of Florida conduct tests to differentiate between synthetic and plant-derived THC. Consequently, the charge was reclassified as Possession of Cannabis and remanded to county court.
Liv Morgan, a one-time SmackDown Women’s Champion and WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles holder with Raquel Rodriguez in early 2023, has recently been sidelined due to a shoulder injury. Despite her absence, Rodriguez provided an update in October, stating that Morgan was recovering well and eagerly anticipating her return to the ring. While no specific return date was mentioned, Rodriguez expressed excitement about Morgan’s recovery progress and hoped for her swift return.
This legal development follows Liv Morgan’s arrest and brings clarity to the charges she faced, with the dropped felony charge signaling a resolution to the legal matter.
