Wrestler Tied to Anti-Tea Party Character Arrested on DUI, Pot Possession

The WWE wrestler currently embroiled in an anti-Tea Party storyline has more on his plate now than simply anger from offended patriots across the nation.

WWE star Jack Swagger was arrested last night in Mississippi, TMZ has learned — after allegedly driving under the influence … with pot in his car.

Sources close to the situation tell TMZ, Swagger — real name Jacob Hager — was leaving a “Smackdown” taping at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi when he was pulled over for speeding.

The wrestling veteran drew headlines earlier this week when he appeared on an WWE broadcast alongside his fictional manager, a “real American” Tea Party parody spouting hateful, racist comments.
