Former wrestling champ Jack Swagger is facing charges of driving under the influence (Dui) after he was arrested in Mississippi on Tuesday night (19Feb13).

The sportsman, real name Jacob Hager, had just completed taping an episode of WWE Smackdown in Biloxi when he was pulled over for speeding.

Cops accused him of being intoxicated behind the wheel and allegedly found a stash of marijuana in his car.

He was taken into custody and booked for the three misdemeanours, before being released on his own recognisance, according to Tmz.com.
