According to The Detroit News, Kyle Garrett Rasmussen (former WWE/FCW talent Conrad Tanner) has been charged with trying to strangle a driver from the backseat of a vehicle in Rochester Hills last weekend, that led to a car fatally striking his fleeing girlfriend.
Rasmussen was arraigned through 52-3 District Court on assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder. The Bond for Rasmussen is set at $25,000, with a probable cause conference is scheduled for 9:00 am local time on November 10.

Other details from the Detroit News report is as follows:
Rasmussen was a passenger in a 2012 Chevrolet Silverado headed west on M-59 around 2:21 am local time on Saturday, when he attempted to grab the steering wheel and strangle the driver, a 31-year-old Otter Lake man. The driver stopped the truck near the Adams Road on-ramp and fled.
Rasmussen’s girlfriend, Sarah Ratliff, 30, also ran from the scene. Moments later, she was hit by a vehicle that was traveling westbound on M-59, approximately 100 feet from the parked truck. She later died at an area hospital.
Meanwhile, Sheriff’s Office crash investigators are seeking the driver who is believed to have struck Ratliff. The 2017-19 Audi Q7 SUV has front-end damage, which likely includes the lower portion of the front grille, county officials said.
