WWE Star Busted for Florida DUI

Santino Marella charged with drunk driving in Tampa, Florida.

World Wrestling Entertainment star Santino Marella was arrested for driving under the influence in Florida last week.

According to Hillsborough County police records, Marella was stopped for drifting back and forth in his car. After noticing 'bloodshot, watery and glassy eyes', officers asked the wrestler to perform two field sobriety tests, which he failed. Marella was arrested on suspicion of DUI in Tampa around 3:00 am and he admitted to police that he had been drinking since midnight. His blood alcohol content at the time of the arrest was .061%, which is below the .08% legal limit for intoxication in Florida.

Marella, whose real name is Anthony Carelli, was booked at the Hillsborough County jail and released shortly after posting $500 bail around 4:30 am.

Are you looking for a DUI lawyer in Tampa? If so, you will need to contact a Hillsborough County DUI attorney.
