UPDATE: Here are the latest details on Sean Waltman’s weekend arrest. Waltman was charged with five counts of possession of narcotics, intended for sale, when he was arrested on April 29th in Los Angeles, CA at LAX.
The arrest report states that Waltman was arrested after a K-9 officer alerted officers to the presence of narcotics in his luggage, they then decided to investigate Waltman’s luggage because he was previously on a watch list with the United States Customs and Border Protection agency.
He was stopped on the Jetbridge as he was preparing to board his flight to England, where the K-9 officer checked his bags, and after taking him to a secondary screening area, a search of his bags revealed 15 meth/amphetamines pills, 23 meth/amphetamines pills, 2 THC liquid cigarettes, 56 THC capsules and 3 Cannabis Chocolate Bars.
Waltman told authorities that he was set to return to Los Angeles on May 1st; the officers made the determination that the amount of pills exceeded the “amount any person can consume” in that time period. It was then decided that the narcotics, plus the $736.10 Waltman was carrying were evidence of “narcotics sales.”
Once in custody, it was discovered that Waltman had an outstanding warrant for a previous DUI case. There was also an existing warrant in the State of Pennsylvania for Waltman, but the report did not specify what that warrant was in regard to.
