TMZ is reporting that Anthony Carelli who wrestles under the name Santino Marella was arrested at 2:57 AM on May 1st 2008 on suspicion of driving under the influence. Police officers observed Marella’s car drifting back and forth.

On pulling him over they described him as having bloodshot, watery and glassy eyes. Marella performed and failed two field sobriety tests. On being taken to Hilsborough County jail his BAC only registered .061 which is below the legal limit of 0.8, although this test was conducted some 2 hours after his arrest.

Marella who admits to having three Miller Lights and one Kamikaze was released on $500 bail, and could still be charged.

The 29 year old Marella who is a former Intercontinental Champion in the WWE is unlikely to suffer too much for this incident. Although he is receiving plenty of tv time right now, he is not a current champion and this is a relatively minor offense even if he is charged.

WWE has been making a noticeable effort to clean up its image recently, but alcohol is not banned under their “Wellness Program”. Even if WWE was to take action, Santino’s character doesn’t depend on wins in the ring for its appeal.
