2 Cold Scorpio, real name Charles Scaggs, has been arrested.
TMZ reports the former WWE/ECW/WCW star was arrested on June 15th, 2024, for stabbing a man during a gas station fight. The incident happened at a Love’s Travel Stop in Kansas City, Mo.
The wrestler claims it was in self-defense as he had been working as a security guard at the store and saw a man lighting up a cigarette inside the establishment, which the man denied. The report said Scaggs stated he told the guy he couldn’t smoke inside, leading to the man being upset and allegedly threatening the wrestler. Once they got outside of the story, the guy tried to grab Charles, leading to Scaggs telling authorities he pulled a knife from his pocket and stabbed the guy in self-defense.
They continued to grapple with Scaggs, stabbing the man a few more times. The man who was stabbed was bleeding from his head, chest, buttocks, legs, and abdomen. He took a trip to the hospital while going in and out of consciousness. Investigators contacted him at the medical facility later in the day and claimed Scaggs was the aggressor in the situation.”
As a result, he is facing two felony charges – one count of first-degree assault and one count of armed criminal action. He did bond out and plead not guilty to the charges, with him slated to be in court for a hearing next month.
