Some months ago, we reported that Kurt Angle got in trouble with the law for allegedly driving while intoxicated. This was a claim that Angle and his attorney vigorously rejected and, ultimately, the charges against him were amended to reckless driving. Well, Angle had his day in court and he has been charge $1,500 and given no jail time. Here is a summation of the outcome as provided by Roger Bianchini of the Warren County Report:
It ended not with a BANG, a body slam or even an appearance by TNA World Wrestling Champion Kurt Angle. Rather, if not exactly a whimper, the legendary wrestler’s reckless driving case ended with a $1500 fine but no jail time attached.
Angle’s attorney Todd Gilbert entered a plea of no contest to Reckless Driving on Nov. 8 in Warren County General District Court. After hearing the prosecution’s evidence presented by Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Michael Fleming and the defendant’s explanation of his erratic driving down I-66 following an appearance at the Shenandoah County Fair on Sept. 3rd, Judge W. Dale Houff imposed the maximum fine of $2,500, suspending $1,000 of that total. The judge agreed with the defense that the case did not bear any jail time.
