Kimber Lee made serious allegations of abuse against Nash Carter prior to his release last year. She received huge backlash from fans for portraying herself as a victim of abuse to ruin Carter’s career. She would eventually part ways with WWE and it appears her pre-trial after her DUI arrest has been postponed.
As previously reported, Kimber Lee was arrested on May 11th, 2023 and charged with DUI and Resisting an Officer with Violence and Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer.
In the police report about the incident, officer P.J. Roberts noted how a gray Kis Soul faced the wrong direction and stopped in the northbound lane on May 11th. It was then said that the vehicle then drove over the lane onto the paved shoulder and “almost collided with the face of the guard rail.”
After a frantic chase, the police officer identified Kimber Lee and described her as having “bloodshot watery eyes, and she slurred as she spoke. After more hassles, Roberts stated that Kimber Lee tried “several times” to leave the area.
The officer then tried to cuff her when she struck him in the chest to prevent him from doing so. He arrested her for battery and while putting on the other handcuff, she violently resisted and ended up injuring the officer. It was evident that she was heavily intoxicated. After getting arrested, a breathalyzer revealed she gave a sample of .140, when the legal limit in the State of Florida is .08.
She entered a plea of not guilty to all charges on July 7th, 2023 and waived her rights to a speedy trial due to not being able to afford a lawyer. The charges of Resisting an Officer with Violence as well as battery of a law enforcement officer are third-degree felonies and both hold a maximum jail time of 5 years each.
According to PWInsider, the latest pre-trial hearing for Kimber Lee has been rescheduled to November 6 at 8:30 AM in Highlands County Court, Florida. She has filed a waiver of appearance, meaning only her attorney will be present to represent her at the hearing.
Prior to her arrest, Lee had announced her departure from professional wrestling via social media. However, despite this announcement, she went on to compete in two separate singles matches at GalaxyCon in June 2023. Nonetheless, we’ll have to wait and see what will become of Kimber Lee in the end.
