More Details Emerge Over Buff Bagwell Arrest

Over the weekend, former WCW star Marcus “Buff” Bagwell was arrested after allegedly leaving the scene of a an accident he was involved in.

Bugwell was arrested on multiple charges by the Cobb County Police Department in Georgia, close to his home in Woodstock.

According to a new report from PWInsider, Bagwell was allegedly driving his 2007 Saab when it struck a 2006 Acura from behind at an intersection.

Bagwell is scheduled to appear in court on July 22 to faces charges relating to the August 2020 incident, and will be back in court on July 23 to face charges for this past weekend’s incident.

For the August 2020 incident, he will face the following charges:
