Former WWE Superstar Joey Mercury Arrested

According to a new report from PWInsider, former WWE superstar Joey Mercury was arrested this past Saturday morning, September 1 in Schaumburg, Illinois. He was in town to work as a producer on the recent All In pay-per-view event.

Mercury, whose real name is Adam Carlson Birch, was sleeping in his car outside of a Marriott hotel. Authorities learned of this and approached him; after running his personal information, they discovered that he was wanted on an outstanding warrant in Orange County, Florida and was taken into custody.

This could result in Mercury being sent back to Florida.
