Fightful reported that former wrestler and AEW producer BJ Whitmer was arrested on June 4th in Boone County, Kentucky over a recent domestic violence incident.
It was reported that the Boone County Sheriff’s Department had charged Whitmer with strangulation in the first degree and burglary in the second degree. In regards to the charges currently against him, it was reported that under Kentucky state law “First Degree offense covers situations where one person chokes another and causes an injury in the process. Burglary in the second degree refers to non-residential burglaries.”
It was also reported that a bond of $25,000 was set for Whitmer and he was released from jail on Monday, June 12th.
AEW released an official statement earlier tonight stating that they have terminated Whitmer’s contract with the company over his recent arrest on domestic violence charges.
B.J. Whitmer has been terminated following his arrest on domestic violence charges. While talent and staff are ultimately responsible for their own personal actions, this behavior is intolerable within AEW. AEW has reached out to offer support to those impacted by his behavior.
