TMZ is reporting that former WWE wrestler X-Pac was arrested over the weekend when he allegedly attempted to smuggle meth and marijuana through customs at LAX airport.
TMZ Sports has the details on the arrest of X-Pac, who’s real name is Sean Waltman:
Law enforcement sources tell us … 44-year-old Sean Waltman was flying out to a wrestling event in the United Kingdom when he was stopped at Customs and officials discovered the drugs.
We’re told airport police were called to the scene and Waltman was arrested on the spot. He was transported to a nearby jail where he was booked for possession of a controlled substance.
TMZ also said that during X-Pac’s arrest authorities discovered an outstanding warrant for Waltman from a prior DUI arrest.
Bail was set at $35,000 and he was released. X-Pac did miss the IPW indie event this weekend in the U.K. that he was supposed to be at.
X-Pac, who has had drug problems in the past, tweeted that he had a “crazy weekend,” but there was no relapse.
