It was recently reported that former WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann was arrested for Battery and False Imprisonment, and now the Gainesville Police have released the official police report due to numerous national media requests.
According to the police report, Swann and his wife Vannarah Riggs were driving home from a wrestling event that she performed at, and while he was critiquing her performance he started to get angry with her. Riggs then got out of the car and Swann yelled for her to come back and then went after her. According to a witness he put her in a headlock and shoved her back in the car while she screamed for help.
Another witness claims that Riggs and Swann both got out of the car while it was moving, and since it was not in park the car ended up hitting a telephone pole.
Riggs said that she was afraid because Swann has a temper and she was worried that their argument could get physical. She also said that she did not want to get back in the car and she was dragged against her will.
Rich Swann claims that Riggs got back in the car on her own, and that he never touched her. He added that he was just trying to get home and his wife had the phone with GPS on it.
As of this writing WWE has yet to comment on Rich Swann’s arrest. The full police report can be viewed below.
