This Day in Pro Wrestling History...


2000 - While in Australia for a WCW tour, Juventud Guerrera is arrested following an incident in a hotel lobby. Guerrera stripped naked and was shouting obscenities at people. Police had to use capsicum spray,(ouch, I knew Juventud likes the hot peppers) to subdue him, and it took six officers to hold him down. During the melee, a female officer was taken to the hospital with a chest injury, later found to be a broken rib. The police charged Anibal Gonzales Hernandez with three counts of assault, disorderly conduct, obstructing police and possession of a dangerous drug, believed to be Ecstasy(Drugs are bad, mmk). He pleaded guilty in the Brisbane Magistrates Court to two counts of assaulting police, one of assault causing bodily harm and one count each of disorderly behavior, willful exposure and possessing a dangerous drug. He was fined $2,050 and ordered to pay $1,400 to three police officers. His lawyer said that his actions were a result of taking the drug Ecstasy, and Ecstasy was found on his body at the time of arrest. He was not "convicted" because it was proven that he was the sole supporter of his family, and if prevented from traveling, he could not wrestle. WCW sent him home following his court appearance, and later released him. Juventud had previously been busted in the United States for DUI.
