When RVD was both WWE and ECW Champion under Vince McMahon’s umbrella, an unfortunate incident with police caused his situation to change.
While traveling from a show in West Virginia to Philadelphia with Sabu on July 1st, 2006, RVD was pulled over for speeding. It was noted that then the officer allegedly detected the smell of marijuana inside the vehicle.
The officer discovered 18 grams of marijuana in RVD’s possession, along with five Vicodin pills. Sabu, on the other hand, had drug paraphernalia and nine tablets of Testolactone.
Following the discovery, both RVD and Sabu were arrested and later posted bail. The timing of the arrest was particularly unfortunate as RVD was in the midst of the most significant push of his career.
During a recent episode of his 1 of a Kind podcast, RVD had a chance to clear up that arrest story. As it turns out, there was no arrest in the first place.
“Here’s where my legacy will go down in their community, and it’s so much bullsh*t. Everything is so much bullsh*t, I just haven’t bothered to comment on. When I wrote the book it’s not going to be consistent with all the bullsh*t.”
