Liv Morgan's name has come up in fan discussions about a possible Royal Rumble return. January 27th will be here before we know it, but Morgan is likely not thinking about the Royal Rumble today. The WWE Superstar was recently arrested for possession of marijuana.
According to PW Insider, Liv Morgan was arrested on December 14th in Sumter County, Florida, following a traffic stop. The 29-year-old former SmackDown Women's Champion was picked up for a marijuana possession charge, not exceeding 20 grams.
In the end, Liv Morgan faced charges for possession of marijuana, not exceeding 20 grams, possession of drug equipment, and potential possession of synthetic cannabinoids. This went down at around 6:30 PM.
This unfolded when a sheriff's deputy noticed the yellow jeep she was operating crossing over the delineation lines of a County Road. According to the arrest report, when approached by a Sumter County Deputy, Morgan's vehicle emitted "the odor of marijuana."
Subsequently, authorities found a "small plastic bag containing marijuana" and a vape pen holding "an oil-like substance" inside the vehicle. The substance was tested and verified to be marijuana.Liv Morgan soon posted bail for $3,000 and was released last night at 10:04 PM. No court date was noted for Morgan as of this writing.
It's worth noting that Liv Morgan, who has been sidelined due to a shoulder injury, has been engaged in promotional activities for WWE recently. She was notably present at the premiere of "The Iron Claw" in Hollywood earlier this week, where she was spotted with MJF, John Cena, and others.
We will have to see how WWE handles this situation, but they have historically allowed talent to handle their own legal problems. If anything, she was busted with something that is considered medicine by a majority of the United States, so she will hopefully be alright.
Liv Morgan's Court Date
It was later noted that Liv Morgan is slated to be arraigned on charges of possession on Monday February 12, 2024, at the Sumter County Courthouse in Florida at 9 AM. She will enter a plea at that time.
In Florida, the possession of drugs, potentially synthetic cannabinoids, is classified as a felony. The associated penalties can include a maximum jail term of one year, up to one year of probation, and a fine of $1,000.
