TNA Wrestler Bram Charged in Domestic Violence Case

Professional wrestler Thomas Latimer, known as Bram, has been suspended from TNA following allegations of domestic abuse levied against him Sunday.

According to the Gulfport Police Department, officers responded to an apartment at 3205 58th St. S. around 6 a.m. after receiving calls about a domestic disturbance. Once there, officers encountered Latimer and a woman who told them she was his girlfriend, an email from the agency to media stated. The officers noticed signs of a physical struggle, the email said.

“After the couple had been arguing, the woman felt threatened and sought refuge in her bedroom,” the email said. “Latimer followed her into the bedroom, closed the door, and refused to allow her to leave. He then pushed the woman onto the bed and was holding her down by her neck.”

Latimer was charged with domestic battery by strangulation and false imprisonment. He was booked into the Pinellas County Jail on the two felony charges Sunday and remained there Monday without bond.

The 29-year-old Latimer was also arrested in 2012 on disorderly intoxication and battery on a law enforcement officer charges, jail records indicate.

TNA Impact Wrestling has announced that Latimer has been suspended indefinitely pending the outcome of the criminal case.

“The charges against Thomas Latimer are serious, and he is immediately and indefinitely suspended from any future TNA-sanctioned events awaiting the outcome of the case,” the professional wrestling organization wrote on its website.

Latimer once wrestled for WWE, but was released following his 2012 arrest, Heavy.com reported. He is married to Ric Flair’s daughter, Charlotte, the website noted, but the couple is reportedly estranged.
