justin credible arrested breach of peace assault

Pro Wrestling Sheet reports that former ECW World Heavyweight Champion PJ Polaco, f.k.a. Justin Credible, has once again been arrested — this time for misdemeanor assault, violating a protection order and breach of peace.

The former ECW star was taken into custody on Tuesday and there are multiple charges listed, including criminal mischief and three instances of violating a protection order.

We’re told Credible lives with his family, but most in the house have protection orders against him in case an incident occurs … which might explain the multiple violations.

We’ve reached out to police for additional information on the arrest.

Sources tell Pro Wrestling Sheet that the 45-year-old has had multiple run-ins with the law since he was last arrested in September. He’s also allegedly walked away from going to WWE sponsored rehab.

During all of this, Credible has been filming a documentary about his struggle.

Below is the official second trailer for the upcoming CREDIBLE documentary. The film documents former ECW World Heavyweight Champion PJ Polaco, f.k.a. Justin Credible, as he tries to get his life back in order.

The new trailer includes footage from Polaco’s September lockup. The producers of the documentary bailed Pete out of a correctional facility in New Haven, CT, which was captured on film. The production will continue to shoot through the winter, which will include new interviews with Scott Hall and Kevin Nash. A January 5th show at Battlefront Pro Wrestling’s ‘To Hell And Back’ will feature a match between Justin Credible and Ryan Fraust as the main event. The documentary crew will be chronicling the day leading up to the event and the match itself, including Justin Credible being featured in the music video shooting the same day by the band Crossing Rubicon. The band’s music will be featured in the documentary.

Production for the documentary was halted earlier this fall over after an eruption from Polaco towards the director, Eric Nyenhuis. Plans have been recalibrated to shoot the final months of the documentary based around Polaco’s court proceedings.

“We continue to outline a man who has deep and painful layers unraveling all at once, and only one of them is about pro wrestling,” producer David Gere said. “At one point I asked Pete to tell us who Justin Credible is and who Peter Polaco is. You will see the response in the new trailer and it’s heartbreaking, but it opens the door for redemption.”

In addition to being an accomplished Hollywood producer, Gere also moonlights as professional wrestling manager ‘DG Haven’ in promotions like Tommy Dreamer’s House Of Hardcore, first met Credible when paired with him on an indy show in 2015 at PWA’s ‘Rise Of Injustice’ show.

“I worked this show years back as Pete’s manager and it was the first time I had met him,” Gere said. “Things were cool in the back at first, but by the end of the match against Bull Dredd, Pete legitimately snapped over the finish, left the ring area, came back, broke his kendo stick over my head, busting me open, which we hadn’t discussed, and walked out of the building. Despite all this, I felt for the guy, it was evident that he was in a very bad place emotionally. He had been a world champion, and a lot of my friends in the business like Dreamer and Kevin Nash had a long history with him. I wanted to help. Director Eric Nyenhuis came up with the idea for the documentary, and I knew it would be a gripping and important journey for everyone, especially those who are dealing with similar issues.”

Last spring, Gere connected Polaco to a small cameo role in a prison yard fight scene in the 1970’s era crime film, VAULT, that he executive produced, directed by Tom DeNucci. Polaco was being bars several months later.

Executive Producer Douglas Cartelli, a Connecticut and New York based businessman man, is seen in the documentary taking a very serious stance on Polaco’s choices upon getting him released from jail.

“The day we got Pete our was very tough,” Cartelli said. “He was broken, but motivated to take a forward step. This is a unique story. It’s about fame and success, then watching it all crumble. It is about family. It is about darkness. It is about the hope of making one move at a time to beat what has become Pete’s worst opponent.”

Producer Chelsea Vale handled Pete’s wife, Jill Jurecki’s involvement in the documentary.

“Working on interviewing Jill was very hard as I could see the anguish and pain pouring out of her,” Vale said. “This is evident in the trailer, as it is a very big part of the story – the despair cast on Pete’s family is probably the most difficult aspect to observe.”

Despite the difficult time earlier this fall and the extreme lows he has faced, Polaco himself is motivated to have the world see and hear his story.

“I’m filled with anticipation for people to see this because it’s a deep look into my life that’s marked with many dark degrees of struggle from addiction and alcoholism,” Polaco said. “But it’s also about what it means to survive as a professional wrestler at the age of forty-five, and about a man needing to take care of his family.”

Justin Credible Arrested By Police For Second Time In One-Month Period

Justin Credible

Former WWE  and ECW star Justin Credible is back behind bars — this time for violating a restraining order.

This marks the second time Credible has been in jail in the last 30 days.  Last month, we reported law enforcement in Connecticut booked him for violation of a protective order as well.

This time around, Justin was arrested Wednesday with bond set at $50,000.  That’s much higher than his last arrest — where he was held on $7,500 bond.

Following July’s run-in with the law, the wrestler told Pro Wrestling Sheet, “I promise to my fans, my friends and my family that the man Peter Polaco will never be a negative headline again, and the character Justin Credible still has many great moments left.”

Also in that statement, Justin mentioned his battles with addiction — and noted his marriage has had ups and downs.

Last year, an order was issued for his wife following a domestic dispute.  One would presume the restraining involved with his latest arrest was tied to his marriage.

We’ll report back once more information is made available by authorities.

Authorities in Connecticut confirm the wrestler was released from custody this evening. Following his release, the co-host of Justin’s new podcast sent us the following statement on behalf of Credible:

This will be my one and only statement on the matter:

Everyone knows I have a history with addiction, and I have worked hard these last few months to battle my demons and keep my family strong. Like all marriages, mine has had it’s ups and downs. I have regained my sobriety, and today I am clean, and tomorrow hope for the same. All I can do is take it one day at a time and work on being the best me that I can. Issues came about Monday night, and I’ve regretted it every minute since. Their was no domestic violence that night, the only one to call the police was me. I was arrested because of an old protection order that was still in place from a previous incident. I will not make excuses for any of the actions that happened that night, but I promise to my fans, my friends and my family that the man Peter Polaco will never be a negative headline again, and the character Justin Credible still has many great moments left.

In closing, I would like to thank the fans that stuck beside me through this ordeal. Thanks to my countless friends who were there to pick me up and help me get back onto solid ground. Most importantly thank you to my lovely wife and kids who know that though I am not perfect my love for them is unconditional, and we will get through this fight together,

Stay tuned guys because Chapter 2 of my life is not only going to be a hell of a lot better, but it’s going to be done right. 2018/2019 is going to be our year.

Justin Credible Arrested For Violating Protective Order

Justin Credible

Former WWE and ECW wrestler Justin Credible is currently imprisoned after violating a protective order.

As reported by Pro Wrestling Sheet, Connecticut authorities claim Credible was taken into custody on Tuesday. A bond of $7,500 has been set for his release.

There’s currently no word on what, exactly, the former ECW Champion did to violate the order, but it is worth mentioning that he was issued one following a domestic dispute with his wife in June 2017.

Credible recently returned to the independent circuit after initially announcing his retirement in 2015. He has been out of WWE since January 2003, when he was cut from the company after being relegated to C-shows like Sunday Night Heat following the Invasion angle.

Perhaps best known for his role in the much maligned X-Factor stable (along with X-Pac and Albert), Credible struggled to break through in WWE, and his group were split when Justin joined Paul Heyman’s ECW insurgents in the Invasion. He’d previously held he ECW Championship for 162 days, though his main event run was met with significant backlash.

Though potentially a very serious situation, this is still developing. We’ll bring you further updates as it unfolds.
