Bodyslam's Cassidy Haynes reports that Elgin's absence from the NOAH event was due to the fact that he was arrested in Japan last weekend for stealing. The report continued, saying Elgin was arrested for stealing protein powder, and is still currently in jail.

Elgin responded to the report on social media, saying he was not charged with stealing protein and is not facing jail time.

I’m not going to bother saying what happened, but I am going to say. I was not charged for stealing protein. I’m not charged at all, I am not facing jail time. I’m also not deported. I am going to Canada to be with my family after the passing of an extremely close family member

I completely understand people don’t ever want to believe anything other than what they wish were true. I’m not going to debate with people. But, I am on my scheduled flight home. Also, first class. Doesn’t seem like deportation.
