Update on the Rich Swann case.
Over the summer, Rich Swann was arrested in Altamonte Springs, Florida for disorderly public intoxication and causing a disturbance, which is a misdemeanor offense. TNA Wrestling informed POST Wrestling that Swann would be entering a substance abuse rehab program.
Swann appeared in court on September 4th. He plead no contest to the charges. It’s a plea where the defendant neither admits nor disputes the charge(s).
He entered the plea, but the court found him guilty. Swann was fined $203 and was ordered to serve six months probation. He was fined an additional $285.38 in related fees. Once he pays the fees and completes the probation sentence, the case will be closed.
Swann was regularly featured on TNA programming as a member of First Class with A.J. Francis. With Swann’s absence, K.C. Navarro was introduced into the fold as Francis’ ally.
