Jimmy Uso was arrested in Detroit after he was involved in a drunken dispute with police officers.
TMZ is reporting Uso—real name Solofa Fatu—was with wife and fellow WWE star Naomi when they were pulled over near downtown Detroit. According to police, the couple was pulled over after Naomi was seen driving the wrong way down a one-way street. Once pulled over, cops claim the 2018 Dodge Journey the couple was driving ‘reeked of booze’ so they ordered Naomi to step out of the car. It was then that Jimmy got out of the car despite being asked by police to remain seated, and he then took off his shirt and ‘squared up’ as if he was ready to fight.
The police officer drew his taser due to concerns for his safety, but Jimmy ultimately complied with police before he was handcuffed and arrested for disorderly conduct and obstruction.
Jimmy was taken to jail and later posted bond; he and brother Jey are still scheduled to face The Miz and Shane McMahon for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at Elimination Chamber this Sunday.
Jimmy Uso has previously been arrested for a DUI in 2011, and in 2013 for driving with a suspended license, which was a probation violation at the time.
Update: WWE has issued the following statement to Wrestlezone on the incident:
“Jonathan Fatu is responsible for his own personal actions.”
