TEDDY HART CHARGED WITH STRANGULATION RESULTING IN BODILY HARM

Edward "Teddy Hart" Annis was arraigned this morning on charges of strangulation resulting in wounding/bodily harm this morning in Richmond, Virginia following his arrest on Thursday 3/26.

The victim in the case has been named publicly as Ring of Honor star Maria Manic, who Hart had been dating off and on for several months.  Prior to Hart being arrested yesterday, Virginia-based independent wrestler Ace Montana posted a video on his Facebook page where he exits a house, telling someone (believed to be Manic) to lock the door behind him.  After exiting the house, he confronts Hart, warning him that the police have been called and that "she would be pressing charges" while threatening Hart that he needed to leave.   In the video, Hart denied ever touching Manic before heeding Montana's orders and leaving the immediate premises.

Montana wrote the following blurb for the video: "I literally had to pull my gun on #Teddyhart ?? and throw him out of my friends house?. This piece of sh** literally choked out and physically assaulted Maria Manic and would not let her get help. she texted me I’m in danger never ever did I think I would meet a piece of sh** like this guy who has now been arrested with a felony against him. I don’t think this guy knew how close to death he was. #f***youteddyheart This video is me kick[ing] him out before the cops came and arrested him???."

Hart is currently being held without bail at Richmond City Jail and is scheduled for a hearing on 4/22 at 2:15 PM.

Under Virginia law, strangulation is considered a class six felony.  Should Annis be convicted, he could be looking at 1-5 years imprisonment and a fine of $2,500.

Manic has not commented publicly on the situation.

Yesterday's arrest is the third for Hart in the State over Virginia over the last six weeks.
