Pro wrestler pleads guilty to reckless driving in North Dakota

GRAND FORKS – An Olympic gold medalist turned pro wrestler has pleaded guilty to reckless driving in North Dakota.

The Grand Forks Herald reports that under the terms of a plea agreement with prosecutors, Kurt Angle will pay a $475 fine and won’t serve jail time. A judge must agree.

The 42-year-old Coraopolis, Pa., resident was arrested March 25 after he was found in a vehicle in the median of Interstate 29 near Thompson. He initially was charged with actual physical control, meaning he was accused of being behind the wheel of a vehicle while drunk. He said in a Twitter post that he was not drunk but that his car had slid into snow during a storm.

Angle won a gold medal wrestling for the U.S. at the Olympic Games in Atlanta.

Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.

Nick attended New York University and graduated in 2001 with a degree in Drama.

Nick first entered the internet wrestling community back in 2004 when he became the co-host of The Voice of Wrestling Radio Show. From there, Nick made the transition from radio personality to editor when he began working with WrestleZone in 2008.

Nick is a member of two Off-Broadway theatre companies, Another Urban Riff, and the Drama Desk Award winning Godlight Theatre Company. Nick has appeared in over a dozen Off-Broadway plays since he moved to New York City, and has shot several short and feature length films. In 2010, he completed principle photography on a film titled "How to Score Your Life," which also features TNA Knockout ODB.

Inspiration in his life has come from many people including his family, Woody Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, The Beatles, and of course, Lassie.
