Sad news today for anybody who enjoys watching the five most enjoyable minutes of RAW every week; TMZ.com is reporting that WWE wrestler Santino Marella, real name Anthony Carelli, was pulled over by Tampa cops this morning and arrested on suspicion of DUI.Reports say the police pulled over l'automobile di Santino after witnessing the car drifting back and forth on the road. He had "bloodshot, watery and glassy eyes" and failed two field sobriety tests including one where he couldn't hold his balance. Santino claimed to have only had a few beers (that always works). The whereabouts of tag team partner of Carlito Caribbean Cool are unknown at this time.
An important thing to remember (as Wrestling News World, who first broke the story, astutely points out) is that according to the arrest report, Marella's blood alcohol content wasn't over the legal limit of .08. Santino clocked in at somewhere between .061 and .062. TMZ adds that he took the test almost two hours after being brought in on charges and can still be prosecuted.
Marella was released on $500 bail and the WWE has yet to comment on the situation, which at worst could mean wishing Santino well in his future endeavors and at best could mean a handicap match in this very ring, right here tonight.
