Earlier on Friday, Dutch Mantell took to social media to jokingly note that he was robbed while roaming the streets of Nashville, Tennessee.
In a tweet sent out on Friday morning, Mantell said that while walking down the streets of Nashville, someone hit him with a rock and robbed him, and he had to go to the ER. He then said that he needed someone like James Storm with him. Many fans took the tweet seriously, as they wondered whether Mantell was okay.
Later in the day, Mantell took to Twitter again to confirm that this previous post was a joke, but he appreciated everyone who messaged him to see if he was okay.

I made a tweet earlier that said I got robbed on the streets in Nashville and went to the ER. It was a JOKE. I apologize for those that took it as legit. I appreciate all the msgs asking if I’m OK. I am. Humbled by the concern guys.
