Wrestling Stars Busted Outside City Limits
By Shawn Curtis/Capitol Times
Capitol City � Two wrestling superstars from Alpha Championship Wrestling may be tough in the ring, but they didn't have enough muscle to escape drug charges after being stopped Sunday night by the Local Highway Patrol.
Victor Laureano, aka ACW champion Latino, and his wife Alicia Laureano, aka “Atomic” Kitsune, also a former ACW champion, were pulled over on just a few miles from the ACW Arena at about 10:15 p.m. The two were apparently driving to tape some promotional videos at the Arena.
According to the officers at the scene, Mr. Laureano was initially stopped for speeding. When troopers approached his vehicle, they smelled marijuana and performed a search. Troopers found the wrestler in possession of 18 grams of marijuana and five Vicodin, prescription pain pills. Mrs. Laureano was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and also had nine pills that were not immediately identifiable, but were known to be controlled substances. Both were cited and posted bond at the scene.
Mr. Laureano, of New York, NY., has had a long, successful career with both ACW and the GFWWE. In addition to being the current champion of ACW, he is also a former tag champion and international champion.
He is scheduled to appear next week on ACW Warfare and is also wrestling in two weeks on an episode of ACW’s other hit show, ACW Meltdown.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Laureano are scheduled to appear at 10 a.m. Thursday in Capitol City Municipal Court. This is another blotch in what has been a rocky relationship between the two performers. Family and friends had thought the two were finally getting back on track after a much publicized misunderstanding that nearly caused the two to part ways..
