As reported by Pro Wrestling Sheet, professional wrestler Harry Smith is now wanted by the police in connection with the Jake Roberts incident from WrestleMania weekend. In the wake of the initial story being broken, we here at WrestleZone spoke with Harry regarding the ordeal. TMZ has also picked up on the story, which details that the maximum penalty for something like this could be six months in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000.
For those who don’t know, here are the details of what happened as told by the New Orleans Police Department.
The NOPD is investigating a simple battery incident that occurred on April 7, 2018 in the 500 block of Canal Street. The victim told police that at about 11 a.m., he was signing autographs at the location when he was approached by a known subject, later identified as Harry Smith (DOB: 08-02-1985). The victim told police he attempted to shake hands with Smith, at which time a verbal argument ensued. Smith then allegedly threw a cup of coffee at the victim’s face and fled the scene. No major injuries were reported by the victim.
