According to a report from The Georgia Gazette, former WWE and WCW Superstar Marcus “Buff” Bagwell was arrested in Cobb County, Georgia on May 22nd. Bagwell was arrested on the following charges,
* Giving false name, address, or birthdate to a law enforcement officer
* Speeding
* Failure to yield when entering an intersection
* Hit and run; duty of driver to stop of return to scene of accident
* Following too closely
* Reckless driving
* Driving within a gore or median or emergency lane
* Driving under the influence of drugs
* Duty upon striking a fixed object
* Driving on the wrong side of the roadway
* License to be carried and exhibited on demand
* Open container violation
Bagwell posted bond on Monday and was released from custody.
As of this writing, there is no word on when the incident actually took place. We reported last year here on eWn that Bagwell was hospitalized after he lost control of his car and hit a curb, which led to him colliding with the center median and a metal fence. He then hit a free-standing bathroom at the Cobb County Transit bus station. While not confirmed, it appears this latest arrest is related to that incident. The Cobb County Police Department Selective STEP Unit had been investigating the incident and found that he was impaired by prescription medication.
Bagwell joined Cameo last year and was charging $50 per video. A fan received the following video from him and he didn’t look well at all. In the video, Bagwell’s face was bruised and he was slurring his words badly.
