WWE Superstar Wrestler ‘Jimmy Uso’ Arrested On DUI Charge In Cantonment

July 25, 2019

WWE superstar wrestler Jonathan Solofa Fatu of Cantonment, whose ring name is Jimmy Uso, was arrested on a DUI charge on Highway 297A.

An Escambia County deputy parked at Publix and observed a vehicle turn from Pine Forest Road onto Highway 297A, rapidly accelerate, and come very close to another vehicle. The vehicle’s speed was verified by radar at 86 mph in a 45 mph zone.

At 1:53 a.m., the deputy conducted a traffic stop on 33-year old Fatu in the area of Highway 297A and Brockwood Place, just south of Kingsfield Road in Cantonment.  Fatu, 33, seemed to be confused, had bloodshot and watery eyes, droopy eyelids, dilated pupils and slow, slurred speech, the deputy noted in his report.

Fatu was booked into the Escambia County Jail and released on a $1,000 bond several hours later.

The WWE issued a short statement saying “Jonathan Fatu is responsible for his own personal actions.”

    The NFL should make statements like this about their players when they get arrested.

    @Travis, you hit the nail on the head there. If he had been an nfl player there would be lawyers in town making excuses and buying his way out of the tickets.

    More companies should put out this same statement, “is responsible for his own personal actions” instead of apologizing every time an employee does something stupid.
