OK, maybe stun isn’t the right word. I mean, who doesn’t like to celebrate May Day? Evidently not the jovial Italian (OK, Canadian) pro wrestling heel Santino Marella (real name Anthony Carelli) and former WBO featherweight champion Scott Harrison. Both have been pulled over in the past week on suspicion of drunk driving.
The Wrestling World News reported that Marella was arrested outside Tampa, Florida at 2:57 a.m. His blood alcohol level was reportedly a paltry .061, .02 lower than the legal limit. With a good lawyer Marella shouldn’t be in too much trouble.
Harrison on the other hand is in deeper water. The Times of London reports that the 30-year-old British former champion who has battled alcohol abuse in the past and spent time in a Spanish jail was “arrested on suspicion of drink-driving” and “had a 15-year-old girl in the car with him when he was stopped.” Underage girl half your age + drunk driving = bad news.
