Shad Gaspard of "Cryme Tyme" Arrest: Major WWE Update
By Sean Farrell
TMZ has posted the video of former WWE Tag Team Champion Shad Gaspard’s arrest from this weekend in Ohio. MMA fighter Josh Barnett shot the video, which begins just after Gaspard was taken to the ground. Shad can be heard saying, “Why am I being arrested? Because I’m big and I’m black?”
One of the officers claims that he was resisting arrest. Witnesses even speak to the camera that Gaspard did not do anything wrong, Shad feels that he is the victim of racial profiling, and that he will fight this. Gaspard released a statement that says “I don’t know exactly what to do yet, but I will fight this as much as possible. I’m not doing it for the money, I have the means, I’m doing this so cops don’t think they can do this to someone else … it’s not right.”
