Former WWE Star Arrested for the Third Time in Less Than Two Months

Former WWE Superstar Chad Wicks has reportedly been arrested for the third time in less than two months following a new traffic-related incident in Iowa.

Wicks, best known to wrestling fans for his time on SmackDown under the ring name Chad Dick, previously made headlines after two separate arrests in the state during September and November. While the 48-year-old has been retired from professional wrestling since 2007, his ongoing legal issues have brought renewed attention to his personal life.

Details Surrounding Chad Wicks’ November 13 Arrest

According to PWInsider, Wicks was taken into custody on Friday, November 13, and booked into the Winnebago County Jail in Forest City, Iowa, at 4:57 p.m. local time. He is currently being held on a charge of driving with a suspended license.

This booking marks his third arrest since the end of September:

  • September 29: Wicks was arrested in Mason City, Iowa, on several traffic violations, including driving with a suspended or revoked license, before posting bond later that same day.
  • November 4: He was arrested by the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office on multiple failure-to-appear charges and was released the following day after posting a $1,200 bond.
  • November 13: Booked in Forest City for driving with a suspended license.

WWE Career History and Post-Wrestling Background

Wicks competed in Ohio Valley Wrestling under the name Chad Toland before making his WWE main roster debut. Between 2005 and 2006, he appeared on WWE SmackDown as Chad Dick, competing alongside James Dick as one half of the tag team known as The Dicks.

Following his retirement from in-ring competition in 2007, Wicks later participated in a class-action lawsuit against WWE that alleged repetitive traumatic brain injuries, though the case was ultimately dismissed in 2018.
