WWE Star Liv Morgan Arrest Update

Sumter County Sheriff

An update has been provided for WWE star and former SmackDown Women’s Champion Liv Morgan’s arrest following her return.

It was previously reported that December 14, 2023, Liv Morgan was arrested in Florida for ‘possession of marijuana (not more than 20 grams)’ and ‘possession of drugs, possibly synthetic cannabinoid’.

The more serious charge of possession of drugs against the former SmackDown Women’s Champion was dropped from the criminal case against her on January 2.

The word making the rounds in WWE was that Morgan had stated the vape pen found in her vehicle was not her property.

As noted in a new report from PWInsider, Morgan’s criminal case in Sumter County, Florida has been officially closed as of February 6.

PWInsider wrote:

The most serious charge against Morgan, possession of drugs, possibly synthetic cannabinoid, was dropped last month because the State of Florida had no way of proving its case. An Assistant State Attorney in Sumter County told KOMONews, “In order to prove the charge possession of THC, the State is required to prove that the THC came from synthetic sources and was not derived from plant sources. No labs in the State of Florida perform such tests, so we remanded it to county court as Possession of Cannabis.”

According to the arrest report, when a Sumter County Deputy approached Morgan’s vehicle “the odor of marijuana was detected.”

Although Morgan was slated for a 2/20 hearing in regard to the only charge left pending from her arrest, The charge of possession of marijuana (not more than 20 grams), PWInsider.com has learned that on 1/31, Morgan’s attorney entered a plea of Nolo-Contendere in regard to the charge. That is a plea in which a defendant accepts conviction as though a guilty plea had been entered against them, but does not officially admit guilt to the charges against them.

PWInsider.com is told that a fine was imposed against Morgan. Court records list an assessment of $543.00, but not any additional fines. The charge of possession of marijuana (not more than 20 grams) is a first degree misdemeanor in Florida. It can be punishable up to one year in jail or on probation, along with a $1,000 fine. Conviction of possession also results in a six month driving license suspension, random drug testing, and all the reimbursement of all fees related to the sentence. Court records only refer to a fine being imposed.

At WWE Royal Rumble 2024, Morgan returned to the company for the first time since suffering an injury in the summer of last year at the #30 spot in the Women’s Rumble.

As previously reported, there is currently no heat on Liv from WWE management in regards to the arrest at the time of this writing.

Liv Morgan will face Zoey Stark in an Elimination Chamber Qualifying Match on the February 12 edition of WWE Raw.
