Statement from Kurt Angle's attorney

Kurt Angle’s lawyer has issued a statement to The U.K. Sun declaring that Angle is innocent of the charges brought against him.

The TNA world champion was arrested Saturday in Pittsburgh on charges of violating a protection from abuse order, possessing a human growth hormone and driving on a suspended license.

In regard to the charge that Angle violated the protection order that was filed by TNA’s Rhaka Khan (Trenesha Biggers), who told police that he was stalking her at a Starbucks, the lawyer said: “It was only by happenstance that they were in the same place to get coffee. They did not speak and Kurt did not know she was present.”

The lawyer also said that his client had a legal prescription for the drugs that were found in the car that Angle was driving at the time of his arrest, and that Angle has appealed the decision to suspend his license.

He had a prescription for HGH, didn't Chris Benoit have prescriptions for steroids also. TNA needs to show that integrity means more to them then any one performer.
Elvis had 'legal' prescriptions for all his meds also.

these days you are guilty until proven innocent .

C'mon Kevin.....Your closer to any of these guys than we are. What's your real take on all of this??

Karen Angle in a tryst with Jarrett...Kurt involved with Khan...HGH?!!?

I'm sure Chris Benoit had legal prescriptions at some point as well.
