We now know more details about what led to Jimmy Uso‘s arrest early this morning, including his refusal to submit to a DUI test by a police officer.
A law enforcement officer speaking to TMZ Sports says Jimmy Uso was stopped for speeding and driving erratically, including “swerving left and right.” When Uso was approached he reportedly reeked of alcohol and Uso refused to participate in a DUI test attempt by the officer. After his refusal, Uso was arrested, and he was also given a speeding citation on top of the DUI charge. According to official records, Uso was released on bond at 10:15 a.m. this morning.
WWE also released a statement on today’s arrest, which was the same as the February arrest: “Jonathan Fatu is responsible for his own personal actions.”
Uso was arrested for driving under the influence early Thursday morning near Pensacola, Florida for DUI due to unlawful blood alcohol level.
This is Uso’s second run-in with police this year, as he was also arrested for an incident with police in Detroit in February. During that stop, Uso reportedly tried to prevent his wife, WWE star Naomi, from getting out of their car during a stop by local police. The situation then escalated from there when Uso tried to “square up” with an officer, and was then arrested for disorderly conduct and obstruction of justice. He was facing jail time, but later plead no contest to interfering with a government employee and paid a $450 fine. Jimmy was also arrested for a similar incident in Tampa back in 2011, which is where his “shout out to Hillsborough County” reference on this week’s RAW came from.
