Randy Orton Faces Assault Claim After Supposed Incident with Fan

Wicked Local Saugus reports that WWE’s Randy Orton is facing a court hearing after an alleged altercation with a fan.

According to the 15-year-old-male accuser, Orton assaulted him in the parking lot of Kowloon Restaurant on January 8.

The teenage boy told police that he took a photo of the wrestling superstar and then asked Orton if he would pose for an additional picture.

He then claims that instead of complying with the photo request, Orton spit gum at his face and called him a derogatory name.

The boy’s mother apparently responded by confronting Orton, at which point, “The Viper” remarked, “so sue me.”

Leonard Campanello of the Saugus Police Department reports that another juvenile has confirmed the story as a witness.

If charges go forward, Orton would face a count of simple assault and battery.
