Jimmy Uso arrested in Florida for DUI…again

Marks second DUI offense in Pensacola, Fla. in recent years

PASADENA, Fla. — WWE star Jimmy Uso has been arrested for DUI once again, only two years after his first offense. Uso — real name Jonathan Fatu — was pulled over late Monday night, July 5, by police in Pensacola after running a red light and being clocked going 50 in a 35 MPH zone. In subsequent questioning during the traffic stop, officers did smell alcohol on the breath. At that time, police would request that Uso exit his Dodge Charger. Uso was noticeably swaying upon exiting the vehicle. Officers claim Uso did admit having consumed “multiple” beers before getting behind the wheel. The star would bomb a series of field sobriety tests before arrest. A report from TMZ Sports reveals BAC breath tests of .202 and .205, roughly two-and-a-half times the state legal limit of .08. Uso was put in jail on a misdemeanor DUI charge and issued citations for speeding and running a red light. A bond was set at $500. He would bond out on Tuesday morning. The incident marks the second time in two years, following a booking for DUI in Pensacola back in July 2019. A jury would later rule Uso not guilty in the case, despite evidence showing Uso swerving and stumbling. Uso is the son of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi.

Uso arrest angered members of WWE management

WWE management has not taken too kindly about the news of Uso’s arrest, according to WrestleVotes on Twitter, who tweeted on the matter. “I’ve spoken to two sources on the Jimmy Uso news,” WrestleVotes states. “I can say with certainty that a few ‘high-level people in power’ are extremely disappointed and legitimately pissed off over the arrest.” “This many times isn’t a mistake or bad luck,” the tweet continues. “It’s personal judgment. Not good.” It is unknown how this arrest will affect his role on WWE programming, being a prominent feature as a part of the Roman Reigns storyline.

Is WWE considering disciplinary action?

While there is currently no fallout from WWE regarding the arrest, it doesn’t mean there won’t be action. Wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer reported that decisions are likely going to happen soon. “The company has not made a statement on the matter either,” Meltzer stated. “Decisions, whatever they may be, will be done soon.” This is a developing story.
