Video of Jake Atlas' arrest has been released.
Atlas was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery (domestic assault) on May 23, though the charges were later dropped.
In a video released by TMZ, Atlas can be seen talking poorly about his boyfriend, mentioning his wrestling career, and calling the cops names. Atlas refuses to answer questions about the incident when asked and is eventually put in cuffs.
According to the police report, Atlas (Kenny Sanchez) was out drinking on May 22 and called his partner to come pick him up. Atlas wanted his partner to drink with him and then wanted his partner to go with him back to a female friend's house to take part in sexual activities. It was said in the report, "he [the partner] showed the female half more attention than Atlas, which upset Atlas. This started a huge verbal argument between him and Atlas."
Atlas reportedly became physically aggressive and charged his partner. A witness stepped in to prevent an attack. Atlas' partner left, but Atlas followed, continued to yell, and again attempted to attack. Atlas scratched his victim and tore his tank top before the witness separated them, putting Atlas in a car.
On July 22, Atlas issued a statement regarding the charges. Fans can read the statement by clicking here.
Atlas is recovering from a torn ACL, suffered during an AEW Rampage taping in January. He underwent surgery in February. Fightful Select reported that Atlas is not expected back in AEW as he was on a per-appearance deal.
