YAHOO TELLS FIRST PART OF STORY
McKees, PA– Pro wrestler and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle has been arrested on charges of possessing human growth hormone and violating an order of protection in suburban Pittsburgh.
Angle was arrested about 7:50 a.m. Saturday in a Robinson Township strip mall parking lot. His girlfriend, who said she obtained a protection order about 1 1/2 hours earlier after the two fought Friday night, alleged that he had circled the lot staring at her as she sat in a coffee shop, according to a police affidavit.
Police said they found the human growth hormone Hygetropin in Angle’s car, and the wrestler told them he had a prescription for the drug. He also told officers he had not seen the woman and was looking for a hotel because he was barred from his home.
Angle, 40, was charged with violating the order of protection, harassment, possession of drugs and paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license. He posted bail and is scheduled to appear for a hearing Tuesday on the drug and harassment charges and Wednesday on the charge of violating the protection order, a court clerk said.
THESE NOTES ADDED BY PEDRO
Jeff Jarrett, the founder of TNA, fell in love with Angle’s wife, Karen. Although it sounds like a wrestling storyline, this isn’t. Although later denied, it was reported Karen Angle and her two kids from Kurt, were living in Hendersonville, TN, with Jarrett. It turns out she is staying there off and on.
SHOULD ANGLE NOT BE WRESTLING?
Does it matter that Angle got popped with HGH? Some were saying he should be removed from Spike TV, which carries TNA. I don’t. Physically, Angle looks very lean and is in the 200 to 210 lb. range says writer Dave Meltzer
