The Latest On Gregory Helms & Chris Jericho's Arrests, Helms Smacked Woman?
WWE superstars Chris Jericho and Gregory Helms were arrested in Kentucky early Wednesday morning when police were called to a gas station and found the wrestlers "extremely intoxicated" and fighting. According to a recent report on TMZ.com, Helms allegedly smacked Jericho, a man named Gary Kelley and a female passenger named Ashley Storer.
According to the report, witnesses told police that Helms ran from the scene right after the incident, but returned soon after, where he and Jericho were arrested for being drunk in public. Helms was not arrested for the alleged attack because the alleged victims have not pressed charges, which is a requirement for an arrest in Kentucky if the police do not witness the attack. While Ashley told police that she did not want to file charges against Helms, Kelley is apparently considering it.
Local newspaper The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the two were arrested at a Shell gas station around 5:45 a.m. on Wednesday and charged with public alcohol intoxication. After spending about an hour in jail, they were released after each paying $120 fines.
The two had been in nearby Cincinnati, Ohio the previous night for this week's SmackDown taping.
Jericho posted the following message on Twitter hours before the arrest: "Listening to zakk Wylde and having a GG contest with Hurricane. It's the woods vs the praries. Praires are winning..." It's pure speculation, but some are guessing "GG" stands for Grey Goose (vodka).
