According to a report by CBS Detroit, former WWE development talent Conrad Tanner (real name Kyle Rasmussen), has been sentenced to 153 days in jail after he strangled a driver while he was in the rear backseat of the vehicle.
The report also notes the 42-year-old must also serve two years of probation in connection to the crime which happened last year.
In November 2022, Rasmussen was arraigned on charges of assault with intent to do great bodily harm less than murder or by strangulation. He was also given a $25,000 cash surety bond.
Back on July 7, 2023, Rasmussen pleaded no contest right before the trial was scheduled to begin.
