Bo Dallas ‘arrested for public intoxication’
Bo Dallas has been arrested for public intoxication.
The WWE wrestler – whose real name is Taylor Rotunda – was allegedly detained at Dallas International Airport after being removed from a flight for yelling at the crew.
According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, which obtained the Dallas Fort Worth Police report, the 26-year-old star was slumped over a chair when officers approached him and he then "demonstrated very poor dexterity".
The report also claims Dallas – who wrestles on the Raw brand – smelled of alcohol and when asked how much he had been drinking he replied: "I’m not really planning on driving tonight."
He is said to have been arrested after officers decided his level of intoxication was a danger to himself and others around him.
Steven Bell, host of wrestling podcast The Late Shift, claimed he could hear Dallas singing a song from ‘The Lion King’ movie while on the phone to his wife, who was at the scene.
He tweeted: "Uh oh. It would appear as though Bo has been kicked off the plane for being too intoxicated.
"Not surprising, as I heard him very loudly singing the Lion King song in the background when on the phone with the wife.
"If news breaks that Bo is in hot water or if he gets released, you heard it here first.
"Oh s**t. Police have arrived at the terminal and are going off with the managers to look for the very disruptive Bo Dallas.
"No further updates, unfortunately, as my wife has to go to her connecting gate."
