Former WWE star Chad Wicks, 48. was arrested yesterday and is currently incarcerated in Forest City, Iowa at the Winnebago County Jail, PWInsider.com has learned. PWInsider.com is told he was arrested for driving with a suspended license and was booked into the jail at 4:57 PM local time.
Wicks was also arrested earlier this month on 11/4 by the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff's Office on several counts of failing to appear in court, we can confirm. He was released on 11/5 after bonding out for $1200.
Wicks was arrested in Mason City, Iowa on 9/29 at 6:19 PM local time and booked into Cerro Gordo County Jail on charges of Unsafe Turn or Failure to Give Signal, Improper Rear Lamps, Failure to Provide Proof of Financial Liability, and Driving While License Denied, Suspended, Cancelled or Revoked (DUS). He was listed as being booked into the jail for "detox." He bonded out later that day.
Wicks, who retired in 2007, would have been best known as one half of The Dicks tag team on Smackdown, performing for the company in 2005 and 2006 after a run in then-WWE developmental Ohio Valley Wrestling as Chad Toland. Wicks joined a class action lawsuit against the WWE (at the time owned by Vince McMahon), claiming to be suffering from multiple symptoms of repetitive traumatic brain injuries. That suit was dismissed in 2018.
