NOVEMBER 29--Wrestler Ric "The Nature Boy" Flair surrendered this
morning to North Carolina cops on misdemeanor charges that he
throttled a fellow motorist during a road rage incident last week
on Interstate 485. The 56-year-old Flair (real name: Richard
Fliehr) was booked this morning at the Mecklenburg County Sheriff's
Office, where the below mug shot was snapped. Flair, who allegedly
grabbed a Charlotte man by the throat and kicked (and dented) the
guy's Toyota during the November 23 confrontation, posted $1000
bond and was released. According to an arrest warrant, after
roughing up Robert Steele, Flair told him that he "had his tag
number and should knock the shit out of him." Flair is facing
simple assault and battery and injury to personal property
charges.
