JERRY LAWLER & FIANCEE ARRESTED FOR DOMESTIC ASSAULT, SUSPENDED BY WWE
BY JOSH NASON | @joshnason | JUN 17, 2016 6:23 AM

WWE Hall of Famer and wrestling legend Jerry Lawler and his girlfriend were arrested in East Memphis, TN, early Friday morning on domestic assault charges, resulting in WWE indefinitely suspending him.

According to police reports, the 66-year-old Lawler and 27-year-old Lauryn McBride had a disturbingly violent altercation at Lawler's home with both claiming the other caused them physical harm. Police couldn't determine who was the aggressor, so they arrested them both.

The two will spend the weekend in jail and will be in court Monday. No bond has been set.

Lawler spoke to WMC Action News 5 today about this via phone call where he discussed some aspects of the night, denying others, saying there's only issues between them when she drinks. The two have been together for five years.

Police first went to Lawler's house after a 911 hangup call. Lawler said that the two began arguing about McBride lying about her whereabouts earlier that evening.

From Newschannel 3 in Memphis:

"McBride claims Lawler struck her in the head and pushed her against a stove while Lawler claims McBride scratched him in the face, threw a candle at him and kicked him in the groin.

McBride also alleged that Lawler got an unloaded pistol, put it on the kitchen counter and told her to kill herself.

Lawler says McBride was intoxicated and claims McBride is the one who brought the pistol into the kitchen."

Lawler said he was trying to prevent McBride from driving.

The two were taken to a medical facility and then booked into Shelby County Jail around 1 a.m. Friday morning. It didn't take too long afterward for WWE to announce the news on its website and suspend Lawler.

Jerry Lawler Domestic Assault Case Update, Charges Dismissed

Domestic assault charges against Jerry "The King" Lawler and his fiancee, Lauryn McBride, were dropped Friday, reports The Commercial Appeal in Memphis.

Lawler's attorney Ted Hansom said it was "a big misunderstanding and won't happen again. We are happy with the outcome."
Lawler, 66, and McBride, 27, were arrested in Memphis on June 17 after they both accused each other of domestic violence.

In the incident at Lawler's home, McBride claimed Lawler held her against a kitchen counter during a argument. She said he hit her in the front left side of her head and pushed her against a stove. Then he retrieved an unloaded pistol, placed it on the counter and said, "Go ahead and kill yourself."

According to the affidavit, Lawler said they argued over McBride lying about where she had been. He said she was intoxicated and tried to prevent her from leaving in her car. She then scratched the right side of his face, threw a candle at him and kicked him the groin. Lawler alleged that she got the gun from the garage and threatened to kill herself.

Both were arrested when officers could not determine who was the primary aggressor. Lawler was suspended indefinitely by WWE following the arrest.
