In an update on Travis Tomko's arrest last week, he is still in jail at the "advice of his lawyers".
Tomko has reached out to WWE and will be taking them up on their rehab offer.
Tomko was arrested last Monday in St. Augustine, Florida on a felony robbery charge.
At approximately 5:00 p.m. Monday, Tomko entered the CVS Pharmacy at
175 Florida 312 and demanded a pharmacist give him all the 15 mg and 30
mg oxycodone in the safe. The pharmacist told detectives Tomko held his
hand under his shirt as if he was pointing something.
He had
been in the store two days earlier to ask for the same painkiller,
saying he lost his prescription. The pharmacist felt threatened Monday
and gave Tomko three bottles with 210 pills.
At approximately
10:00 p.m., deputies were called to a Chili's restaurant at 215 Florida
312 about a person possibly using narcotics in the bathroom. He was
arrested after he was found in a handicap stall. A syringe was found in a
wastebasket in the bathroom.
Two of the bottles were found at a
nearby Carrabba's restaurant, where a man meeting Tomko's description
had spent an hour in the bathroom.
The former WWE Superstar was
taken to a nearby hospital and subequently transported to a nearby
jail, where he was booked for robbery. His bond was set at $7,500 and as
noted - he's still incarcerated.
