TNA star Bram (Thomas Latimer) was arrested for domestic battery and false imprisonment on Sunday in Gulfport, Florida.

Latimer was released today on $5000 bond for the domestic battery by strangulation charge, and another $1000 bond for the false imprisonment charge.

Professional Wrestler Arrested on Domestic Violence Charges

Gulfport, FL – On 8/30 at approximately 6:00 AM, officers responded to a call about a disturbance in an apartment at 3205 58th Street South. There they encountered Thomas R. Latimer and a woman who identified herself as his girlfriend.

The officers observed evidence indicative of a physical altercation, and their investigation revealed that after the couple had been arguing, the woman felt threatened and sought refuge in her bedroom.

Latimer followed her into the bedroom, closed the door, and refused to allow her to leave. He then pushed the woman onto the bed and was holding her down by the neck.

Latimer, who is a wrestler with TNA Impact Wrestling, was charged with domestic battery by strangulation and false imprisonment. Both are felony charges, and he is currently being held in the Pinellas County Jail.

A Man ‘Fixated’ With Female Wrestler Shot By Officer At WWE Performance Center

A man “fixated” with a female wrestler, believed to be WWE Hall of Famer Lita (Amy Dumas), to the extent that a court order had been obtained against him, though he hadn’t been served it yet, was shot Monday by a sheriff’s officer outside the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

Lita wasn’t at the Performance Center at the time of the shooting.

The 29 year old man identified as Armando Alejandro Montalvo underwent surgery after what sheriff Jerry Demings described as life-threatening injuries.

According to the Orange County sheriff, two plainclothes officers responded around 1:30 p.m. to a call from a manager at the Performance Center that a man had come in and created “a commotion.” At the time, WWE staff told authorities the man “had some type of knife.”

So when the two officers arrived, they drew their weapons, fearful the man might go after them, police said.

And while it wasn’t clear if he was armed the man did charge at one of the officers in the parking lot. “And so the deputy retreats,” Demings said. The officer “was running backward trying to create distance between he and the subject, and ultimately the subject closes within just a few feet of him. And he fired the shot.”

Triple H tweeted the following about the incident:

 

Montalvo had confronted Orange County sheriff deputies in the past. Montalvo was arrested back on August 4th at the Performance Center when he had a sign that said “Lita I Love You”, a chair and binoculars.

A deputy wrote that when he was taking the man away by police that day, the man “kept asking if I saw Lita while I was inside the WWE building. Armando kept stating that he loves Lita and that she is attractive. Armando also kept laughing and stating that what was happening is awesome.”
