UPDATE:
The Gulfport Police Department has released new details on TNA star Bram’s (Thomas Latimer) arrest for domestic violence.
Gulfport, FL—On 8/30 at approximately 6:00 AM, officers responded to a call about a disturbance in an apartment at 3205 58th Street South. There they encountered Thomas R. Latimer and a woman who identified herself as his girlfriend.
The officers observed evidence indicative of a physical altercation, and their investigation revealed that, after the couple had been arguing, the woman felt threatened and sought refuge in her bedroom.
Latimer followed her into the bedroom, closed the door, and refused to allow her to leave. He then pushed the woman onto the bed and was holding her down by her neck.
Latimer, who is a wrestler with TNA Impact Wrestling, was charged with domestic battery by strangulation and false imprisonment. Both are felony charges, and he is currently being held in the Pinellas County Jail.
TNA Wrestling has announced that they have indefinitely suspended Bram from the company after he was recently arrested in Gulfport, Florida. Below is the official statement released by the company:
“TNA has been advised by the Gulfport, Florida Police Department that Thomas Latimer, known as Bram, has been arrested and charged with two felony counts of domestic battery and false imprisonment. TNA is working to gather facts and obtain additional information related to the arrest.
‘The charges against Thomas Latimer are serious, and he is immediately and indefinitely suspended from any future TNA-sanctioned events awaiting the outcome of the case,’ said TNA Executive Vice President of Television and Talent John Gaburick.”
It is worth noting that Bram is currently married to WWE Diva and former NXT Women’s Champion Charlotte. However, CWN has been able to confirm via PWInsider.com that Charlotte was not the victim in this case, as she and Bram are currently in the process of finalizing a divorce.
