Former WWE Star Chad Wicks Lands in Legal Trouble Ahead of Return

Former WWE star Chad Wicks found himself in legal trouble almost 15 years after his WWE career. 48-year-old Wicks was arrested in Iowa and taken to the Cerro Gordo County Jail on Sept. 29 in Mason City, at approximately 6.19 pm locaal time. His booking listed an intake designation of "Detox," while the reported allegations included several traffic violations. 

Chad Wicks Faces Multiple Allegations 

As per official reports, Wicks was booked on allegations of an unsafe turn or failure to signal, failure to provide proof of financial liability, improper rear lamps, and driving while his license was revoked, suspended, canceled, or denied. 

The official jail record lists four separate cash-only bonds, which combined to $1,501.51. More importantly, the listed allegations were not findings of guilt, but rather the accusations he allegedly made against his person. He has not been convicted of any crime and is innocent until proven guilty in court.

The "Detox" designation does appear on his booking record; however, the allegations against him are related to traffic and license-related violations. There is no evidence in the provided information to suggest that the designation indicates a separate criminal charge. 

Wicks Released After Cash Bond 

Wicks' latest legal development came pretty quickly. He was released from custody on Sept. 30 after he posted the combined $1,501.51 cash bond, having spent roughly 18 hours in jail.

Wicks is best known for his WWE career as Chad Dick, where he and Tank Toland formed The Dicks, with Toland performing as James Dick. The duo appeared on both SmackDown and Velocity in the mid-2000s after Wicks wrestled in WWE developmental as Chad Toland.

Eventually, Wicks retired from professional wrestling in 2007, and it seems that the former WWE star's name is set to resurface yet again due to his recent arrest, even though the mentioned allegations are yet to be proven.
