On another news, Emmet Bryan Clark Jr., who wrestled in the WWE as Adam Bomb, was arrested in Arizona.
According to AZCentral.com, Clark was arrested on drug charges along with Dennis Miccolis, a member of the 1960s pop band, the Buckinghams. The two were arrested by the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office and will be prosecuted by the Arizona Attorney General’s Office. They are scheduled to be in court on February 19.
Clark is being charged with conspiracy, illegal control of enterprise, transporting or selling narcotics, drug possession, and possessing a weapon during a drug offense. Clark’s lawyer, Robbert Jarvis, is alleging that the charges are “unreliable and false information.”
“The police report contains alleged facts that have been grossly misconstrued and are incorrect,” he said. “This includes incorrect allegations relating to medication and its use.”
He further states that the “weapon” his client possessed was a family heirloom that was unused and just stored at Clark’s home. He goes on to say that the charges are false and his client was being targeted because of “his notoriety and acquaintances.”
