“Rowdy” Roddy Piper Gets DUI



Wrestling legend ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper was arrested for DUI in Los Angeles earlier today, according to reports that were filed onTMZ.

The 55-year-old WWE star, who worked during the same time span as Hulk Hogan, Mr T and Ric Flair , was stopped by police at 1am. He was allegedly given “sobriety tests” (which he apparently failed) before being booked.

His bail has reportedly been set at $5,000 (£3,055).

Piper, real name Roderick George Toombs, recently spoke about losing “friends” and “brothers” to drugs and alcohol in an interview with Slam! Wrestling.

He also talked about coming back to WWE following the success of his Wrestlemania 25 storyline with Chris Jericho.
His movie career, however was something of a wash.. with the one really memorable role being in “Hell Comes to Frogtown”. Not exactly Oscar material there…
