Below are a couple of top WWE news stories of the day, involving Liv Morgan and Randy Orton.
• In December 2023, WWE Superstar Liv Morgan was arrested in Sumter County, Florida after a traffic stop.
Morgan was arrested for possession of marijuana (not more than 20 grams) and possession of drugs, possibly synthetic cannabinoid. Morgan has already bonded out.
Below is the mugshot:
While Morgan was initially due for a hearing on February 20 regarding the remaining charge of marijuana possession, her attorney entered a plea of Nolo Contendere on January 31. This plea acknowledges conviction without an admission of guilt, a legal maneuver commonly utilized in such cases.
The resolution of Morgan’s case includes a fine, specified as $543 in court records. Notably absent are additional fines or penalties beyond the monetary assessment. In Florida, possession of marijuana (up to 20 grams) is a first-degree misdemeanor, potentially carrying a jail sentence of up to one year, a $1,000 fine, and a six-month driver’s license suspension, among other repercussions. However, Morgan’s case only incurred the monetary fine.
Bodycam footage of Liv’s arrest has now been released, where the Police Officer read Liv’s journal and also read her life goals. The Police Officer was then surprised to find out that she’s a WWE wrestler and that he knows her.

The fact that the officer was reading her journal or going through her wrestling gear…while laughing is weird and disgusting. There was no need for this.
