WWE News: Major Update on Former WWE Star Shad Gaspard's Arrest

TMZ has obtained footage of the arrest of former WWE wrestler Shad Gaspard.

As reported yesterday, Gaspard was arrested Saturday in Columbus, Ohio. The report states Gaspard was cuffed for allegedly jaywalking.

Former UFC champ Josh Barnett and Gaspard's wife Siliana were with him during the arrest.

Siliana felt there was excessive force used, especially since Shad showed no signs of resisting arrest. She told TMZ, "Shad got into a kneeling position to show he was not resisting...but the cops shoved his face into the dirt anyway."

Barnett also stood by Shad and took to his Twitter page, stating, "Shad Gaspard arrested because a Columbus officer abuses his authority. False jaywalking charge + attitude turns to handcuffs and tackling."

Obviously law enforcement officials have a different story, stating, "He was arrested for resisting arrest and obstructing official business."

At one point in the video Gaspard is heard saying, "Why am I being arrested? Because I'm big and I'm black?"

Gaspard told TMZ he "feels he's the victim of racial profiling—and claims during his ride to the police station, he heard the arresting officer saying, 'He's just one more...'"

Shad adds, "I don't know exactly what to do yet, but I will fight this as much as possible." 

He continued, "I'm not doing it for the money, I have the means, I'm doing this so cops don't think they can do this to someone else ... it's not right."

This doesn't look good for the Columbus police department.
