Former WWE developmental talent Danny Gimondo didn’t appear for a court date in relation to his charges of DUI and possession of a controlled substance without a prescription.
Gimondo was arrested on June 29th and was set for a September 1st pre-trial hearing in Hernando County, Florida court.
However, Pwinsider is reporting that Gimondo was listed in court paperwork as “not present.”
An arraignment has been set for September 20th on the DUI charge, and the court records indicate that prosecutors have decided not to prosecute the possession charge.
Gimondo and his bail bondsman have both been informed that an arrest warrant would be issued should he fail to appear at the arraignment.
Gimondo is currently out on a $2,000 bond.
On June 29, Gimondo was pulled over at a McDonald’s after police saw him failing to stay in a single traffic lane. A traffic unit arrived on the scene, and the traffic officer stated that they arrived at 2:53 PM to find Gimondo sweating with an “odor of alcohol” coming off his breath and body.
Gimondo claimed he was headed to a rehab facility after relapsing on alcohol and told the officer that he had “drank Tito’s” earlier in the day “and is currently on Benzos.”
Gimondo was put under arrest after failing a sobriety test and said he’d have a hard time doing some of the field sobriety tests (which he failed) due to a knee injury from pro wrestling.
