On 8-15-09 at 7:50am, I was dispatched to the area of Giant Eagle and Get Go for a report of a PFA violation that was taking place in the lot.
As I was en route to the scene from Robinson Towne Center, dispatch advised me that the male offender (later ID'd as Kurt Angle) was in a sliver Cadillac now headed toward the Robinson Mall on Park Manor and was wearing a green colored t-shirt.
I approached the traffic signal at the intersection of Park Manor and Robinson Center Drive.
As I was at the light, I observed a silver Cadillac STS travelling down Park Manor and making the left hand turn at Robinson Center Drive and continuing onto Park Manor.
As the vehicle passed me, I could clearly see the driver had on a green t-shirt.
I turned around my marked police unit and made a traffic stop on the vehicle as it pulled into the Starbucks lot in Robinson Towne Center.
I was advised by dispatch that the driver should be Kurt Angle and that he was under DUI suspension.
I approached the driver who provided me with his (license) that did ID him as Kurt Angle.
At this time, I was assisted on scene by (two other officers).
I ran Angle's license which did come back as being under DUI suspension.
I advised Angle of the nature of the call and if he violated a PFA that was put out on him.
Angle stated his ex-girlfriend, (name removed), and he had an altercation at his residence in Moon township last evening.
Angle then stated she used his vehicle and went downtown to obtain an emergency PFA on him.
He then stated he was removed from the residence by Moon Township Police.
I advised Angle that his girlfriend had called police and stated he was stalking her at the Giant Eagle lot.
Angle denied this and stated he was looking for a hotel to stay in and never saw her.
Angle blurted out that he had his girlfriend's cell phone even though I had not asked about it at the time.
Dispatch advised that (the victim) was at our station filing a formal written complaint.
Since Angle was under DUI suspension, a tow truck was called for his vehicle.
I checked the area where Angle was sitting incident to his arrest.
There was a medium sized bag that contained Angle's ID as well as numerous credit cards.
This was taken with Angle to avoid anything happening to his credit cards.
In the front seat there was a large zippered black bag.
Inside one of the compartments was a capped syringe and two vials of "Hygetropin" which also contained the label "recumbant Human Growth Hormone Somatropin for injection."
Angle was asked about this item and he stated that he had a legal prescription for it and would be able to provide a copy of it.
Angle was placed into custody for the PFA violation and the drug charges and taken to the Robinson Twp. Police Station without incident by (the officer).
The vehicle was removed from the scene. (An officer) did locate a maroon colored blackberry phone from the car which (the victim) did later ID as hers. It was turned over to her at the station.
At the Robinson Police Station, I spoke with (the victim).
(She) stated she was at the Starbucks Store at the Robinson Towne Center outside at a table using the internet because she was scared to use the computer at her residence as she was in fear of Angle.
At this time, she saw Angle circle the parking lot three times; staring at her while she was outside.
(She) stated she then hurriedly left the area and saw Angle in the silver Cadillac.
She drove to Crucible Research by Giant Eagle and observed Angle in the Giant Eagle parking lot "circling" in his vehicle.
She stated to me that she could see Angle accessing her cell phone that she left in the car and feared he was deleting her text messages and pictures she had of past abuse against Angle.
(She) stated she then called 911 to report the incident. Angle was processed without incident and lodged into a holding cell to await arraignment.
The two vials of "HGH" and the used capped syringe will be logged into evidence.
(The victim) was provided a victim's rights booklet which she signed for. (She) stated she was going to stay (at a different location).
I received a faxed copy of the emergency PFA from Moon Township Police as well as verification that Angle was served the PFA by Moon Police this date at approximately 6:19am.
I made a copy of the emergency PFA she obtained that will be posted in the active PFA section of the police department. I also did file an ICC complaint on Angle.
- Officer’s Criminal Complaint filed against Kurt Angle on August 15th
Wake the pets and call the neighbors. It's time for our monthly TNA pay-per-view preview column!
DISCLAIMER: Projections are made by myself and for myself with absolutely no assistance from Vince Russo, Scott D'Amore or whatever else currently passes for TNA management. This preview has been sealed in a mayonnaise jar on Funk & Wagnall's porch since noon today. No one knows the contents of these projections, but I, in my divine and mystical way, will ascertain the finishes to these matches without watching TNA Impact on Spike TV. Some of our departing contestants will receive a free Bissell Carpet Sweeper. Since 1876, when Bissell says clean, they mean clean. And remember, four whammies brings tears to your eyes and puts you out of the game. This is only an exhibition. This is not a competition. Please, please, no wagering. This lineup is based on the best available information as of this writing. Also remember that my projections are based on what I would do if I had booking control over Total Nonstop Action.
Boy, Total Nonstop Action sure knows how to suck the fun out of a pay-per-view preview column. TNA World Champion Kurt Angle was arrested yesterday for stalking, violating a restraining order, driving on a suspended license and possession of Human Growth Hormone. After this revelation, it's entirely possible Jeff Jarrett had good reasons for not telling people where Karen Angle and Angles' children were staying.
Angle claims he has a prescription for HGH, which, of course, makes the whole think okay. Angle has made bail and is expected to be in Orlando for tonight's pay-per-view. No self-respecting organization would allow Kurt Angle to wrestle after being the headliner on TMZ.com yesterday afternoon, which is why I except the Olympic Hero to be geared up and ready to go at 8 PM tonight.
On with the show.
Abyss vs. Jethro Holliday: Now that Abyss has beaten up Dr. Stevie, Richards has put a bounty on Abyss's head. Makes sense to me. Projection? Abyss wins with the black hole slam. You can leave the thumbtacks and broken glass backstage this month. Really. We won't mind.
Hernandez vs. Big Rob Terry: While watching the buildup for this match, I began suspecting that Kurt Angle isn't the only wrestler in the company who has been provided a doctor's prescription for HGH. Projection? If Hernandez can hit the Border Toss on Terry, that ought to be the finish. Hernandez wins a short match.
Alex Shelley vs. Amazing Red vs. Chris Sabin vs. Christopher Daniels vs. Consequences Creed vs. Jay Lethal vs. Suicide vs. Whatever The Hell They're Calling Elijah Burke (Steel Asylum Match): The monthly "video game" match should feature Projection? TNA usually does a bad job with debuting hot new acts. Maybe we can make an exception this month. The "Black Pope" D'Angelo Whoever gets the win to earn next month's X Division title shot.
British Invasion (w/ Rob Terry) vs. Beer Money, Inc. (New Japan Tag Team Championship): After some quick bickering across the Pacific, New Japan decided to back up TNA on their decision to put the IWGP belts on Doug Williams and Brutus Magnus. But they probably won't do it again. Projection? Magnus pins Storm with a powerbomb after interference from the World Elite.
Angelina Love vs. O.D.B. (TNA Knockout Title): O.D.B. has had bad matches with all the other knockouts, so why not Angelina Love. Projection? Velvet Sky steals O.D.B.'s flask, distracting O.D.B. for long enough that Angelina can roll O.D.B. up for the pinfall.
Homicide vs. Samoa Joe (TNA X Division Title): Here's the latest chapter in "Samoa Joe: The World's Dumbest Heel Wrestler". Homicide seems to be enjoying his first run with the X Division title. Projection? Joe hasn't been able to win over the past month, which helps get over what a great manager Taz is. Somehow Taz screws up and costs Joe this match as well.
Booker T & Scott Steiner vs. Team 3-D (TNA World Tag Team Title Match): You have to hand it to TNA. The company keeps finding tag teams who are less worthy of the championship spots than Brother Ray and Brother Devon are. Projection? Sheik Bashir runs in and hits Devon with a brickbat or something, allowing Booker to score the pin and kep the championship in the Main Event Mafia.
Kevin Nash vs. Mick Foley (TNA Legends Title): In between taking shots at Torch Columnist Bruce Mitchell last week, Kevin Nash said that his goal for tonight's match was to exceed the low expectations everyone has for the Foley-Nash battle. That's scary. What's scary is that Nash is booked as the number two heel in TNA right now. That could become a real problem as of, say, Tuesday morning. Projection? Foley kicks out of the powerbomb. Nash fights his way out of the mandible claw. The Main Event Mafia tries to run in, but Bobby Lashley keeps them at bay. Foley wins with the Kobashi DDT.
Kurt Angle vs. Matt Morgan vs. Sting (TNA World Heavyweight Title): If it was up to me, Kurt Angle would be suspended. But we'll play this one as it lies and assume Kurt makes his booking. Projection? Morgan uses his power, Sting uses his incredible charisma, and the champion keeps selling his injured neck. Finally, Angle pins Sting with an inside cradle to keep his title after a lengthy match.
At this point, [B]Shawn Hernandez[/B] cashes in his "Feast Or Fired" briefcase, blocks the Olympic Slam, and uses the Crackerjack to pin Angle and capture the TNA World Heavyweight Title. TNA could use a fresh face on top, and this will give Angle enough time to clear up his legal problems and maybe go into rehab for whatever problems he has.
Aftermath: Next month is No Surrender. We'll see Jeff Jarrett take on Eric Young in a Fans' Revenge Lumberjack Match (maybe). A.J. Styles battles Matt Morgan, and Hernandez defends his championship against Samoa Joe.
