Per a report from POST Wrestling, current TNA Wrestling star Rich Swann is entering a substance abuse rehab program following an arrest that occurred back on June 8 in Altamonte Springs, FL.
Swann was said to have been charged with disorderly public intoxication and causing a disturbance, a misdemeanor offense.
According to a report filed by Zane Hoskins of the Altamonte Springs Police Department said that at around 9:50 pm, Swann attempted to enter his apartment forcefully. Swann reportedly was banging on the door, yelling “this is my house.” Hoskins then informed Swann he had a gun, which in turn caused Swann to leave the property.
According to the report, Hoskins said that he asked Swann if he had any drinks containing alcohol. Swann stated that he did. When asked how many drinks he had, Swann said ‘A lot. When Swann was asked when started drinking, he said around 7:00 pm, which was three hours earlier.
The resident of the apartment then contacted authorities to report the incident. When police arrived at the scene they were told by the resident that Swann had run away, toward the nearby woods.
It is said that Swann possibly mistook the apartment for his own home. The address of the apartment Swann was allegedly trying to kick in is just a short walk from his own address.
The resident told Hoskins he did not want to press charges against Swann, who damaged his front door. Police also had received another call, this time from a woman located within in the same neighborhood. The report also stated that the woman said Swann attempted to follow her at the apartments, after she told him to stop. It was said the woman was able to get inside her apartment before Swann could enter. Authorities further noted that they had located Swann nearby and labeled him as “incoherent and appearing to be intoxicated.”
Hoskins also wrote: “[Swann’s] actions while intoxicated caused multiple disturbances and his behavior caused several residents concern for their safety,” Hoskins wrote, explaining his reason for charging Swann.
Back in September of 2022, Swann was charged with the same offense when he was arrested for allegedly causing a disturbance while intoxicated at the apartment complex where he lives. The court had ordered him to pay $351.49 related to that charge.
TNA Wrestling reportedly first became aware of these incidents on Wednesday when contacted they were contacted by POST Wrestling.
TNA Wrestling gave the following statement to POST Wrestling, which includes that Swann has been suspended pending the completion of the investigation into the incidents:
“TNA Wrestling takes any and all charges against its performers seriously. Rich Swann is responsible for his own personal actions. He has informed TNA Wrestling that he is voluntarily entering into a substance abuse rehabilitation program. TNA Wrestling has suspended Rich pending the completion of its investigation into the incidents.” TNA Wrestling has suspended Rich pending the completion of its investigation into the incidents.”
Swann competed at TNA Wrestling’s Against All Odds back on June 14, which was six days after the arrest.
