Case Closed For Lex Luger May 2003 Arrest (Steroids); Receives Probation, Fine, Drug Testing
Many wrestling fans have asked me over the last year or so, "What ever happened to the case against Lex Luger when he was arrested in May '03 when Police found horse steroids, drugs, etc?" Today we have an answer for everyone.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution reports that Lawrence Pfohl, formally known to WWE and WCW fans as Lex Luger was back in court today. However, it stems back to his arrest in May 2003 for steroids and narcotics posession. And the case almost 2 years old, is now closed.
Luger pleaded guilty to possession of three different types of steroids. He received five years probation. He also must pay $1000 fine and ordered to submit drug tests to show he is not taking steroids. The tests will probably be part of his visits to his probate officer.
The Judge did tell Luger today that if he is arrested again for a similar offense, he could face 25 years in prision. It was reported that Pfohl was allowed to plea his 2003 charges as a first offender. As long as he complies with his parole, the charges could be discarded after probation is served.
However I believe this "first offender" plea was critical for Luger. If the '3 Strikes' law applies to the charges, that could be another reason why Luger asked to enter his plea as a first offender. This way, he's only at 'strike 1'. There is much more pressure on the former WWE / WCW wrestler if he were at "strike two" right now. By pleading as a first offender, he still can "slip up" and not be at "strike three". Even though he struckout a long time ago and probably doesn't even realize it.
And based on what happened Monday night from his arrest, he hasn't changed much in two years since his arrest and Miss Elizabeth's death.
No word as to what could happen now with his recent arrest for DUI and other vehicle related charges.
