Major Kurt Angle Update, His Side of the Story

Media outlet WPXI posted the full police report of the incident involving TNA star Kurt Angle getting arrested.

According to the report, police first spotted Angle at about 7:50AM in the vicinity of a Giant Eagle/Get Go shopping center. The actual encounter between the arresting officer and Angle took place shortly thereafter in the parking lot of a Starbucks at Robinson Towne Center.

The officer identified Angle’s license as being under suspension for a DUI-related issue. Upon addressing Angle about the nature of the call–an alleged violation of the protection from abuse order girlfriend Rhaka Khan requested–the officer discovered two vials of HGH compound hygetropin. Angle said that he could provide proof of valid prescription.

When informed that police had been called regarding the PFA violation, “Angle denied [that he was stalking her] and stated he was looking for a hotel to stay in and never saw her.” At the time, Angle also confirmed that he had her cell phone.

Rhaka Khan argues that she was using a computer at Starbucks (out of fear regarding how Angle would react if she used the computer at home) when she saw Angle, in a car, circling around the parking lot.

“She stated to me that she could see Angle accessing her cell phone that she left in the car and feared he was deleting her text messages and pictures she had of past abuse [involving] Angle,” read the report.

A Pittsburgh Post-Gazette report added that she filed for the PFA order at around 6:20AM after an abuse-related incident.

Kurt Angle will go before District Judge Carla Swearingen at a preliminary hearing Tuesday. He has been released from jail, and as of press time, the belief was that he would still be appearing at Sunday’s TNA pay-per-view.
