Guest Incandenza Report post Posted July 3, 2002 I got this from a link on Fark.com: Police: Wrestler resisted arrest By Camera staff July 3, 2002 It took eight officers, two dogs and three sets of handcuffs to subdue Boulder's homegrown professional wrestler "Big Van Vader," who was suspected of drunken driving. Leon Allen White, 47, was arrested Monday night on suspicion of spitting and threatening officers with rocks, resisting arrest, drinking and driving, careless driving and leaving the scene of an accident. Members of the Colorado State Patrol and Boulder County Sheriff's Office responded at 8:30 p.m. to Bari Court and Whaley Drive regarding a sport utility vehicle that crashed into a bush. The suspect, who suffered a cut on the head, left the scene and drove a block away to his home, witnesses reported. When contacted by authorities, the 6-foot 4-inch 375-pound White told them he was looking for bullfrogs and catfish in a pond and crashed while driving home, according to an arrest report. Officers reported White seemed severely intoxicated and had to hold himself up on the door jam. White became belligerent with officers when asked about his level of intoxication and said: "I will and can kick all of your asses! Let's fight ...," according to the arrest report. Two of the deputies got their dogs out for protection. White stared the animals down and said he would kill them, the report said. At one point, White picked up two rocks the size of baseballs and clenched them in his fists, Trooper Scott Hinshaw said. He also is alleged to have spit toward the trooper, but missed. Eventually, officers were able to calm White down and he was handcuffed without incident. White played football for the University of Colorado and in the NFL before becoming a professional wrestler. He has competed worldwide as Big Van Vader and held numerous individual and tag-team titles. According to the Colorado Bureau of Investigation, he has two previous drinking and driving arrests in Boulder County. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest y2jailbait Report post Posted July 6, 2002 Alright, time to book the perverbaial Steve Austin Vs. Vader Jailhouse match, with yours truly serving as special ref. Vader is a gentle man, the Wrestling with shadow's video shows it, but from personal experience, when i met him in 97 at a house show where i live, the man was the only Wrestler to stay and sign autographs, what a guy, but man his odor was so bad, i declined to get near him as he was signing. Hell of a guy though! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
