Former WCCW Tag Team Champion Steve Cox has been charged with two counts of assault with a deadly weapon and a charge of threatening a violent act. The charges were first reported by Lori Fullbright of Tulsa News 6. Cox worked for WCCW, Mid-South Wrestling, and other promotions in his twenty-year career.
The charges stem from incidents going back to May 2022. The 63-year-old Cox was arrested for leering at children in a park. When confronted by one of the mothers, Cox brandished a knife and threatened her. This led to the first charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
Unfortunately, the problems for Cox would continue. He verbally assaulted two people who were walking their dogs, before he “accelerated and swerved at them, like he was going to hit them and came very close.” Cox then got out of the car with a knife, threatening to kill both pedestrians and their dogs. Cox was then identified via a police lineup, which led to the second charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, and one act of threatening a violent act.
There have been other reports of Cox’s strange behavior, though nothing that could lead to an arrest. According to Fullbright, Cox has been accused of following a teenage girl home, driving through neighborhoods and cursing at random people, watching kids at the local park, and watching children get off the school bus.
All charges against Cox are pending at this time.
