• Former WCW Wrestler Not Going To Jail After Hitting A 5 Year Old Boy With His Car
Former WCW wrestler Van Hammer (Mark Hildreth) was charged with DUI in January after he hit a 5-year-old boy with his car.
He was driving his car at 58 mph in a 35 mph speed zone and hit the boy, who was on his bicycle, and then left the scene.
He has been found guilty of the crime, but he won’t face full consequences for it.
He pleaded guilty to one count of DUI, causing property damage, and injury as part of a plea deal. He was sentenced to one year probation and a year of suspension from his driver’s license. He will also have an interlock device installed on his car for a year.
If he would’ve fought the case in court, he would’ve lost it and faced serious consequences.
