[Prince Bálor]

TNA issued the following statement to Prowrestling.net regarding the arrest and suspension of Bram (a/k/a Thomas Latimer).

TNA has been advised by the Gulfport, Florida Police Department that Thomas Latimer, known as Bram, has been arrested and charged with two felony counts of domestic battery and false imprisonment. TNA is working to gather facts and obtain additional information related to the arrest.

"The charges against Thomas Latimer are serious, and he is immediately and indefinitely suspended from any future TNA-sanctioned events awaiting the outcome of the case," said TNA Executive Vice President of Television and Talent John Gaburick.

Update: Multiple sources report that the incident did not involve Charlotte (a/k/a Ashley Fliehr). It's unclear whether she and Latimer are still married, but I was told that they are no longer romantically involved.

Damn. It's like he's living his gimmick.

The good thing is, Charlotte wasn't involved in this incident.

Well, he was arrested in the state of Florida, so he may do his time there.

 

[CM Punk]

What a fucking idiot.
Honestly, if TNA had any backbone, just let the guy go. He assaulted a cop when he was signed with WWE and now this?

 

[Prince Bálor]

Yeah, TNA should let him go. Not like he's the ace of the company or anything.

 

[Majour]

It was apparenty involving his new girlfriend, on charges of 'domestic battery by strangulation' and false imprisonment.

What a catch....

Latimer was released today on $5000 bond for the domestic battery by strangulation charge, and another $1000 bond for the false imprisonment charge.

TNA announced yesterday that they had suspended Latimer indefinitely while they work "to gather facts and obtain additional information related to the arrest."

Below are details of the arrest, courtesy of The Gulfport Police Department:

Professional Wrestler Arrested on Domestic Violence Charges

Gulfport, FL—On 8/30 at approximately 6:00 AM, officers responded to a call about a disturbance in an apartment at 3205 58th Street South. There they encountered Thomas R. Latimer and a woman who identified herself as his girlfriend.

The officers observed evidence indicative of a physical altercation, and their investigation revealed that, after the couple had been arguing, the woman felt threatened and sought refuge in her bedroom.

Latimer followed her into the bedroom, closed the door, and refused to allow her to leave. He then pushed the woman onto the bed and was holding her down by her neck.

Latimer, who is a wrestler with TNA Impact Wrestling, was charged with domestic battery by strangulation and false imprisonment. Both are felony charges, and he is currently being held in the Pinellas County Jail.

"This is normal."

Obviously you're soft if you disapprove domestic violence.
