Attorneys for Kurt Angle issue statement over his DUI arrest last Friday
On Thursday, October 4, 2007 at 2:28 PM EST Attorneys for TNA World Champion Kurt Angle issued the following statement to TMZ.com:
"Kurt Angle maintains his innocence relative to the charges brought by the police in this matter. The improper arrest occurred in the middle of the afternoon after Mr. Angle showed no signs of intoxication. The police have no blood alcohol content and not firsthand knowledge of his operation of his vehicle. We believe the motivation for this arrest is based upon Kurt Angle's celebrity status and we are confident that we will prevail when the truth becomes evident."
Given that tonight is a big night for TNA with the company debuting it's new two-hour format on Spike TV, this definitely isn't the kind of publicity they want and can't be happy right now.
