TMZ is reporting that WWE Superstar Sonya Deville was arrested for gun possession in New Jersey last month after authorities discovered a firearm in her vehicle that didn't have the appropriate permit.
While the gun is registered in Florida, it isn't registered in New Jersey, so you can see how that would cause a problem. The incident took place on February 19 in Atlantic City when a valet discovered the weapon in her car's glove box and called the police (why he was snooping in there has yet to be determined).
The cops soon showed up and arrested Deville shortly after. As a result, she's been charged with one count of unlawful weapon possession - handgun without permit.
Why was the pro wrestler carrying a gun?
Well, it goes back to a 2020 incident which saw a 24-year-old man allegedly attempt to kidnap and potentially kill Deville after breaking into her and Mandy Rose's home at the time. We can't fault the WWE Superstar for attempting to protect herself after an incident like that, and this was obviously little more than an oversight on Deville's part.
A court hearing is set to take place later this month and it's believed Deville is trying to get the case thrown out. This might explain why we haven't seen the heel on TV in recent weeks despite the fact she was recently attempting to defeat Charlotte Flair for the SmackDown Women's Championship.
Hopefully, this doesn't jeopardise her chances of being part of the WrestleMania card. We'll be sure to keep you updated.
In happier news, Deville recently got engaged!
