WWE Superstar Ludwig Kaiser, who also portrays El Grande
Americano, was arrested yesterday in Orange County, Florida
and charged with battery.
According to publicly released documents of the arrest,
Kaiser had an altercation with another man, Richard Reap,
who he assaulted outside an elevator in his apartment
building.
In an affidavit filed by Reap, he said he entered in the
elevator and was followed by a man and a woman and as the
elevator started going up, the duo started acting “in an
uncontrollably intimate manner,” kissing aggressively in
front of him.
As the elevator reached the 12th floor, Reap exited and told
the two to “please have some manners,” at which point,
Kaiser attacked him, punching him multiple times and pushing
him to the ground. He added that the WWE Superstar made
threats of additional violence toward him.
Police officers responded to the apartment building after
Reap said he’d like to press criminal charges.
“I observed a large, fresh scratch on the back of Reap’s
head, along with redness in the same area, consistent with a
recent physical altercation,” the police report said.
Kaiser was identified and then arrested. He was transferred
to the Orange County Corrections Department and released on
$1,000 bail.
