Angle arrested - again!


Kurt Angle was arrested early Sunday morning on DUI charges.

Angle's car was reportedly seen by another driver swerving from lane to lane on I-66. Angle was arrested by Virginia State Troopers and taken to Warren County Jail.

He posted a bond of $2000 and was released a short time later.

9/5/11 UPDATE:
KURT ANGLE
I Was NOT Drunk

Kurt Angle apparently believes he's been FRAMED in connection with his drunk driving arrest Sunday morning ... this according to sources connected with the famous wrestler.

As TMZ first reported, Angle was popped in Virginia after he was allegedly seen driving erratically on I-66.

But Angle's lawyer tells TMZ ... his client passed a breathalyzer test. The lawyer tells us, "We understand Kurt will be entering a plea of not guilty in response to any infractions and/or offenses."

Sources connected with Kurt tell TMZ ... cops are just trying to make an example of him.

The cops are mum, saying the case will be tried in court.

FYI ... someone who is not legally drunk (i.e., someone who passes a breathalyzer test) can still be arrested for driving under the influence if drugs or alcohol -- even minimal amounts -- impair the driver's ability to navigate the road.

9-5-11 UPDATE:
As expected, there is major heat within TNA on World Heavyweight Champion Kurt Angle for his DUI arrest over the weekend in Virginia. Since the incident, Angle hasn't wrote anything on Twitter except that he was headed to the premiere of "Warrior" this morning.

Angle's arrest on Sunday came after he was spotted swerving between lanes by another driver on 1-66 East near Linden, Virginia. Virginia State Troopers responded to the call and arrested Angle, taking him to the Warren County Jail where he posted $2,000 bond and was released at 3:31am. Angle was driving a rental car at the time and it was towed to a local impound lot. This isn't confirmed by law enforcement yet but we exclusively reported that Angle was also texting while driving and reportedly only blew a .06, just below the legal limit. Nonetheless, law enforcement didn't think it was safe for him to drive and took him to jail + impounded his car.
