WWE Star Liv Morgan Arrested for Marijuana Possession
WWE star Liv Morgan was arrested for possession of marijuana following a traffic stop in Florida Thursday night. The incident occurred near The Villages, northwest of Orlando, according to the Villages-News.
Arrest and Charges
Morgan was pulled over by Sumter County police after allegedly driving erratically on the road. When the officer approached her vehicle, he detected the smell of marijuana. Upon searching her jeep, the officer found a small plastic bag containing marijuana and a vape pen with an oil-like substance.
Morgan, whose real name is Gionna Daddio, was taken into custody and booked into Sumter County jail. She was released after posting a $3,000 bond. Jail records showed that she was charged with marijuana possession (not more than 20 grams), a first-degree misdemeanor, and possession of a synthetic cannabinoid, a third-degree felony.
Potential Consequences
The charges against Morgan carry a punishment of up to one year in jail and a maximum fine of $1,000, according to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws (NORML).
It’s worth noting that synthetic cannabinoids are prohibited under WWE’s Substance and Drug Testing policy for its performers.
Professional Career and Recent Events
Morgan, a one-time WWE Women’s champion and two-time WWE tag team champion, has been signed with the WWE since 2014. She made her main roster debut in 2017 but has been sidelined with a shoulder injury for the past six months.
Recently, Morgan attended the premiere of the upcoming Zac Efron-led movie, “The Iron Claw,” in Los Angeles on December 11. However, her arrest follows her appearance on television during an episode of “Monday Night Raw” in July, where she lost her tag team championship.
There is currently no timetable for Morgan’s return to the WWE, as reported by PW Insider in November.
Conclusion
