She asked me for my car to go to the store, went to police, got a PFA. The police came to my door, kicked me out, put her in, and it&#8217;s been like that ever since, and I spent nine hours in the county jail.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Confident in vindication, Angle added, &#8220;I&#8217;m just going to let the judicial system take its course and I&#8217;ll be vindicated.  I spent nine hours in the county jail. I mean, it was degrading.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/default.aspx?term=\\kurt angle&#038;iid=5595506\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/8\/b\/2\/a\/ComicCon_2009_c284.jpg?adImageId=2282856&#038;imageId=5595506\" width=\"320\" height=\"218\"  border=\"0\" alt=\"Comic-Con 2009 - Day 2 - IESB.nets Wrath Of Con\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.pis.picapp.com\/IamProd\/PicAppPIS\/JavaScript\/PisV4.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kurt Angle Addresses Arrest, Blames Ex-Girlfriend<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"TNA Champion Kurt Angle made his first public comments on Saturday&#039;s arrest, attributing fault to ex-girlfriend Rhaka Khan.
