NBC affiliate WVIR Channel 29 in Virginia reported last night that WWE star Ken Doane (Spirit Squad's Kenny) was issued warrants for assault and battery and vandalism charges at the Raw taping in Charlottesville, Virginia, stemming from an alleged incident following a Raw house show several weeks ago in Roanoke, Virginia.
At the time, Jason Wilson, 27, claimed to have spotted Doane and Mickie James sitting at a red light in their car after the Ronoake event and approached them for autographs. James obliged, but when the light turned green, Wilson claimed that Doane allegedly held onto his sign and pulled off. This allegedly caused Wilson to fall and his sign to tear. Wilson was claiming strain of his left shoulder and commented to the WKTR Channel 13, "And it's not my fault he did what he did. I'm innocent and I'm going to take a warrant out. And nobody's going to stop me over my dead body!" WWE's Gary Davis told KTR at the time that the company was contacted by Wilson and they offered him signed photos. When Wilson then asked for money, WWE requested he file a written report. WWE told KTR at the time that Doane and Wilson had no contact at all and they were unaware of how Wilson was allegedly injured.
Wrestlers weren't the only ones laying the smack down at the Monday Night Raw event in Charlottesville--the cops were, too. University of Virginia police say they served two warrants on Ken Doane at the John Paul Jones Arena early Monday night.
Doane plays the wrestler "Kenny," a WWE Tag Team champion.
UVA police say the warrants against Doane were obtained in Norfolk for assault and battery and vandalism. A 27-year-old Chesapeake man says that he approached Doane and Richmond native Mickie James to ask for autographs. He says that is when Doane hurt his shoulder and tore his poster.
Doane is scheduled to appear in a Norfolk court on August 31.
