Atlanta authorities have issued an arrest warrant for WWE star Heath Slater over assaulting a woman in 2011.
The assault allegedly took place after WrestleMania 27.
“WWE has been advised that a misdemeanor arrest warrant has been issued against Heath Miller (aka Heath Slater), but we have not seen a copy or been provided with the underlying charges,” a WWE statement read, per Marc Middleton of Wrestling Inc. “Once this information is received by WWE, we will take the appropriate action.” h/t bleacherreport
According to an original account of the incident, security guard Corinne Oliver accused Slater of assaulting her after he attempted to take her back to his room at an Atlanta hotel. When Oliver refused, Slater allegedly accosted her and began choking her.
WWE did not indicate whether Slater would continue to appear on its programming while the case is pending.
