- The following article was written by The Associated Press:
PITTSBURGH — Authorities in western Pennsylvania say pro wrestler and Olympic medalist Kurt Angle has been arrested on charges of violating a protection from abuse order and possession of human growth hormone.
Forty-year-old Angle was arrested at about 7:50 a.m. Saturday in the parking lot of the Robinson Town Center in suburban Pittsburgh. His girlfriend told police that she obtained a protection order after the two fought Friday night.
Police say they found the human growth hormone Hygetropin in Angle's car. The wrestler told them he had a prescription for the drug. He also denied stalking the woman, saying he had not seen her and was looking for a hotel because he was barred from his home.
Officials say he was charged with violating the protection order, harassment, possession of drugs and paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license.
Angle has an unlisted number and it was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney

TNA Champion Kurt Angle spoke with WTAE Channel 4's Michelle Wright today after returning home from the latest set of Impact tapings from Orlando, Florida. Angle told the reporter he cannot get back into his home because the alleged victim is still there.
Breaking into tears, Angle told the news station spending nine hours in custody after his arrest Saturday morning was the lowest point of his life.
"I didn't do anything wrong, and I was sitting there in the (Allegheny) county jail," Angle said.
Angle said no physical violence between the couple took place. "There was no fight at all. We didn't even have an argument," Angle said.
The current TNA CHhampion revealed he and Trenesha Biggers (known as Rhaka Khan in TNA) have been dating on and off for 10 months. He said he allowed her to stay at his house but she starting getting mail sent there and now he can't go home because of the PFA.
Angle claims Biggers might be acting out of spite because he didn't want to marry her. "She asked me for an engagement ring the week before." Angle said.
He also claims to have the support of his ex-wife Karen Angle. "My ex-wife has supported me. She has told everyone about the kind of person I really am," Angle said
