Kurt Angle was found not this afternoon in connection with charges filed against him last September 28th that he was a drunk driver. The TNA Wrestling superstar was arrested after another driver saw a car being driven erratically in Moon Township, and local police said the vehicle matched the description of one belonging to Angle. When the police showed up at Angle's door, he had a mouth full of pills and beer on his breath. He claimed he was taking anti-inflammatory medication and didn't consume any alcohol until he got home.
 
"It's taken a toll on my family," Angle stated after the 40-minute non-jury trial,  "I regret it. It's something that, you know, I didn't do anything wrong. The law tries to turn around and get you. Maybe because you're a celebrity, maybe not."
Although police said Angle admitted to them that he had driven home from a local bar, and then failed field-sobriety tests, the judge ruled prosecutors couldn't prove he was actually "driving" under the influence.
Angle's attorneys said he took a portable breathalyzer at the time and was under the legal limit.  "He was not intoxicated at that point, and the alcoholic beverages he consumed were after he was home and done driving," said defense attorney Michele Santicola.
"I've gotten a bad name," a visibly upset Angle stated outside the courthouse, "And regardless of this interview or any interview, when people hear my name, they think Kurt Angle was driving under the influence. Just crazy how society is today."
 
A recent pilot for an Angle reality show has Kurt, in 1st class on airplane, drinking 4 beers early in the morning before placing tobacco in his mouth and falling asleep. Wife Karen, who came up from coach,
was horrified that Kurt would turn into an alcoholic.
 
You be the judge.
