WWE star ‘Adam Rose’ arrested in Florida

LUTZ, Fla. (WFLA) – Hillsborough County deputies arrested WWE star Raymond Leppan Wednesday. Leppan, 36, is charged with domestic battery and preventing the victim from contacting law enforcement.

Leppan is known as Adam Rose.

Deputies said he engaged in a verbal argument with the victim about marital problems at a residence in the 18000 block of Sparrows Nest Drive. Leppan  “grabbed the victim on each side of her face with his hands and pulled her face close to his while he screamed at her,” deputies said.

When the victim called 911, Leppan allegedly took the phone away so she couldn’t report the incident. “The defendant admitted to taking the phone away from the victim so she could not report the incident,” deputies said.

The WWE released the following statement:
