More On Jimmy Uso’s DWI Arrest This Morning

The following is from ABCActionnews.com:

TAMPA – WWE wrestler Jimmy Uso was arrested for driving under the influence early Thursday, Tampa Police said.

Uso, whose real name is Jonathan Fatu, was pulled over at the corner of Howard Avenue and Platt Street. He was arrested at 3:14 a.m.

Tampa Police say an officer “observed the defendant traveling the wrong way on Howard Avenue in a silver Mustang.”

According to the arrest report, Fatu’s blood alcohol level (BAC) was .180. That’s more than twice the level (.08), at which a driver is assumed impaired, under state law.

According to the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) website, Uso is “A descendant of the Samoan Anoa’i family.” His bloodline “includes such in-ring legends as his father Rikishi, his great uncles The Wild Samoans and even ‘the most electrifying multi-time WWE Champion in all of entertainment: The Rock.”

TAMPA — Professional wrestler Jimmy Uso went from body slams in the ring to being thrown in the slammer Thursday when he was accused of drunken driving.

Uso, whose real name is Jonathan Fatu, was arrested just after 3 a.m. Thursday at Howard Avenue and Platt Street after a police officer said Uso was driving the wrong way on Howard in a silver Mustang, according to an arrest affidavit.

The 26-year-old World Wrestling Entertainment performer, who weighs in at 6-foot 2 and 240-pounds, had a blood alcohol reading of .180 — well above the .08 limit at which point the state presumes impairment.

Uso, who lives in South Tampa, remained in jail Thursday in lieu of $500 bail. He wrestles as part of a tag team with his twin brother, Jey, while wearing Samoan tribal beads. He has worked in the WWE since May 2010.
