As noted, WWE Hall of Famer Jerry Lawler and his fiancee Lauryn McBride were arraigned this morning following their domestic dispute early Saturday morning.
Lawler and McBride were ordered by Judge William Turner to “stay away from each other” while the case is ongoing.
“Those are standard bail conditions in a domestic violence case,” said Mark Mesler, McBride’s attorney. “No contact, no communicating, no texts, no phone calls.”
Lawler declined to issue comment on the case. The next court date is July 1st.
As noted, WWE suspended Lawler over the incident this past weekend and issued this statement:
Jerry Lawler arrested, suspended
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Jerry Lawler was arrested at his home Friday morning by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office in Memphis, Tenn.
According to a police report, Lawler and his girlfriend, Lauryn McBride, were taken into custody and booked on alleged charges of domestic assault—bodily harm, a misdemeanor.
WWE has zero tolerance for matters involving domestic violence, and per our policy, Jerry Lawler has been suspended indefinitely following his arrest.
