Former WWF wrestler, Jim Neidhart, was cuffed and mugged in Florida on Sunday afternoon after allegedly causing a 
disturbance at a Tampa area gas station.
The most recent Jocks Behind Bars member, known as “The Anvil”, was hit with two counts of possession of controlled substances with intent to distribute, two counts of trafficking illegal drugs, one count of burglary of an unoccupied dwelling and one count of third degree grand theft.
According to reports, The Anvil was raising hell outside the A.J. Food Mart gas station and was seen dropping some pills.
After police responded to the scene and performed a search, they are said to have found Oxycontin and Methadone pills. The problem is, these meds were prescribed to someone else and that someone else told police her home had been broken into and those pills were stolen. That’s where the burglary charge comes in.
Local reports on Monday stated that Neidhart’s bond was set at $138,500.
Neidhart is the father of WWE Diva Natalya and had a successful wrestling career that included being a two-time WWF Tag Team champion. Prior to doing the wrestling circuit, he pursued an NFL career and suited up for the Oakland Raiders and Dallas Cowboys during a few preseasons.
At the time this article was published, it had not been confirmed if he was bailed out or still behind bars.
