Wrestler Not Pinned for DUI

Posted Sep 9th 2008 2:54PM by TMZ Staff

Kurt Angle -- an Olympic gold medalist and former WWE wrestler -- was found not guilty today in his DUI case.

Angle was arrested at his home in Moon Township, Penn. last October after a witness called the police, claiming Kurt was driving erratically after pulling out of a local bar.

Prosecutors couldn't get the charges to stick because officers never saw Angle in the car -- which is kinda important when you're prosecuting him for driving drunk.

8. Officers then say Angle showed "signs of intoxication," and they administered a field sobriety test, which he failed. Angle was then placed under arrest and taken to a local hospital where he refused to take a blood test.

why refuse if you have nothing to hide? The fact is they did not see him driving.

11. Never in my life have I heard of POS cops going to someone's house and arresting them on DUI because some idiot calls and says so. What crap. Those cops shouldn't be cops, they don't know the law. Idiots.

13. So they stop him for erratic driving, but they somehow lose track of who was driving the car they pulled over? I guess that's what a really expensive lawyer can do for you. Get you off on a ridiculous technicality.

14. See this is a prime example of people who should mind there own business. People who have too much time on there hands who snitch on other people. To the people who call the police on stuff like that. GET A LIFE!!!!!! I bet he had 3 beers and blew a .09.
