In July, Jimmy Uso, real name Jonathan Fatu, was arrested for DUI in Pensacola, Florida after he allegedly ran a red light while being clocked going 50 MPH in a 35 MPH zone.
The police claim that Uso had told them he had consumed “multiple” beers before getting behind the wheel. The WWE star failed the field sobriety tests as his BAC breath tests came back at .202 and .205, which is higher than Florida’s legal limit of .08.
When Jimmy returned to WWE TV a few months ago, he was inserted into a storyline with his brother, Jey, and Universal Champion Roman Reigns. Despite the arrest, WWE kept him on television.
Reigns commented on the arrest while doing an interview with The New York Post. Reigns stated he doesn’t “condone that kind of behavior or decision-making” and it’s “not a great light to be shining” on his family or WWE.
He continued, “we’re all human, we’re all cynics, we all make mistakes. Instead of what some people might feel you should give up on somebody or maybe turn your back on that type of behavior, that’s one way to do it. But I don’t think that’s the way to push through and gain experience or make progressive movements of becoming a better man or a better human. So for me, it was diving into it with great attention, great love and very thorough communication to make sure my family is continually bettering themselves and putting themselves in a position to make better decisions.”
This was the second time within the last two years that Jimmy has been accused of drunk driving as he was arrested for DUI in Pensacola back in July 2019. However, a jury later found him not guilty.
