TNA pro wrestler and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle just got in trouble with the law…again.
After he finished a set of live tapings for TNA’s Impact show on Spike TV, law enforcement agents arrested Angle on Thursday night. The charge? A DWI, which now stands as the pro wrestler’s fourth alcohol-related charge in the last six years.

Back in 2011, Angle spoke about his DWI charges at the time on camera. He almost broke down in tears:
