Rich Swann entering rehab.
POST Wrestling reports that Rich Swann is entering a substance abuse rehab program following an arrest on June 8 in Altamonte Springs, FL. He was charged with disorderly public intoxication and causing a disturbance, a misdemeanor offense.
According to the police report filed by Zane Hoskins, Swann was attempting to enter his apartment forcefully. Swann was reportedly banging on the door and yelling "this is my house." Hoskins informed Swann he had a gun, which caused Swann to leave the property.
Hoskins contacted the authorities after the incident.
According to the report, Hoskins was told by a woman that Swann tried following her at the apartments, even after she told him to stop. She managed to get inside her apartment before Swann could enter.
Authorities found Swann nearby and labeled as "incoherent and appearing to be intoxicated" in the report.
Hoskins wrote in the report, “I asked if Richard had any drinks containing alcohol. He stated that he did. When asked how many, he stated, ‘A lot.’ I asked Richard when did he start to drink and he told me around 1900 hours,” about three hours earlier.
“[Swann’s] actions while intoxicated caused multiple disturbances and his behavior caused several residents concern for their safety,” Hoskins wrote, explaining his reason for charging Swann.
Swann was charged with the same offense in September 2022, an incident not previously, when he was arrested for allegedly causing a disturbance while intoxicated at the apartment complex where he lives. The court ordered him to pay $351.49 related to that charge.
TNA reportedly first became aware of these incidents on Wednesday when contacted by POST.
TNA Wrestling gave the following statement to POST:
“TNA Wrestling takes any and all charges against its performers seriously. Rich Swann is responsible for his own personal actions.
“He has informed TNA Wrestling that he is voluntarily entering into a substance abuse rehabilitation program. TNA Wrestling has suspended Rich pending the completion of its investigation into the incidents.”
Swann wrestled for TNA on June 14, six days after the arrest, at TNA Against All Odds.
Fightful will provide more information on the incident when more is known.
