Former WWE star Rich Swann has faced some troubles outside the squared circle. He has decided to check into rehab to get on the right track once again after his recent troubles.
Swann was arrested on June 8 in Altamonte Springs, Florida, on charges of disorderly public intoxication and causing a disturbance, both misdemeanor offenses. After his arrest, Post Wrestling reported that Swann has voluntarily entered a substance abuse rehabilitation program, as confirmed by TNA.
As per the arrest report, Swann could be seen attempting to forcefully enter an apartment, possibly mistaking it for his own. The resident, who was inside at the time, armed himself with a handgun and confronted Swann. The former WWE star backed away and left the property.
Police later located and arrested Swann, who appeared intoxicated and admitted to drinking “a lot.” He was charged after causing multiple disturbances in the area.
Swann was released the following day on a $250 bond. He is being represented by a private attorney from the Joshi law firm in Orlando. This incident marks the second time Swann has been charged with similar offenses, following an arrest in September 2022 for causing a disturbance while intoxicated at his apartment complex.
Swann has pulled out of future independent bookings. Despite the recent arrest, Swann continued to wrestle for TNA, appearing at the “Against All Odds” show on June 14 and at subsequent TV tapings.
In December 2017, he was arrested on charges of false imprisonment and domestic battery involving his wife, Su Yung. Although the charges were later dropped due to insufficient evidence, Swann was suspended and eventually released by WWE following the incident.
