While the circumstances behind this are not yet clear, WWE 205 Live star Rich
Swann was arrested early this morning at 12:09 AM in Gainesville, Florida and
charged with Kidnapping/False imprisonment. In the State of Florida, that is a
third-degree felony, punishable by up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine
if convicted. Swann has also been charged with Battery - touching or striking,
a first degree misdemeanor in Florida, with penalties of up to one year in jail
or 12 months probation and a $1,000 fine upon conviction.
Swann, 26, is currently scheduled to face Drew Gulak to determine the top contender for the WWE Cruiserweight championship on this Monday's Raw in Cleveland, Ohio, a match that will likely be canceled as part of the fallout of this arrest.
Swann was signed to a WWE NXT deal in 2015 after several years of working in Japan for Dragon Gate and a number of top independent promotions, including EVOLVE and CZW. He was part of the Cruiserweight Classic tournament in 2016, which featured him speaking about how pro wrestling saved his life after the deaths of his parents. Swann's work in the tournament lead to him being added to the roster for WWE's Cruiserweight series, 205 Live, where he had been one of the more popular fixtures on that series. Swann has regularly appeared on Raw as part of the Cruiser division and at one point, held the WWE Cruiserweight championship.
Swann is currently incarcerated in Alachua County Jail
