We have the latest about former WWE superstar and ECW Original
The Sandman's continuing saga in Yonkers, New York. Those two felonies from his
early days are weighing in on the judge's decision, obviously. This looks to be
a drama-filled case, and the former Extreme World Champion seems to be
in some serious trouble here.
A Westchester County judge set $10,000
bail this morning for pro wrestler James "The Sandman" Fullington, who has spent
the last few days in jail following a weekend brawl.
The wrestler's attorney said his client would have "no trouble"
posting that bail, set by Judge Barbara Zambelli, and expects Fullington to be
released later today.
"I think it was an appropriate bail," defense lawyer John R. Lewis
said. "It's very reasonable."
Fullington, 45, faces felony charges in Yonkers after being accused
of brawling at La Lanterna restaurant on Sunday. He had to spend a fourth night
in jail last night after a Yonkers City Court judge told him he couldn't set
bail because he had two felony convictions on his rap sheet.
Fullington is under a restraining order barring him from having any
contact with the owner of La Lanterna, Ralph Tarone.
Police said Fullington went berserk at 9:45 p.m. Sunday, flinging
glasses at the restaurant staff. He also injured two police officers who were
called to the scene to subdue him by throwing glasses at them, according to
police.
Louis Albano, 40, the son of wrestling great "Capt. Lou" Albano, who
was at the restaurant, said the gathering was for a book signing and 75th
birthday party for his father. He said Fullington had too much to drink and
became unruly, and that Tarone threw a glass at the 6-foot, 4-inch, 280-pound
wrestler.
