Whats the story with Hacksaw Duggan and Iron Sheik getting arrested together?
Hacksaw Jim Duggan & The Iron Sheik were arrested by New Jersey State Police when the two wrestlers, who were feuding at the time on WWF shows, were pulled over on May 26, 1987 when a trooper saw Duggan drinking a can of beer while driving. Duggan was charged with possession of marijuana and drinking alcohol while driving. The Iron Sheik was charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana. Duggan would receive a conditional discharge, while Sheik was put on probation for a year. Both were immediately suspended from the WWF. Duggan would return a few months later, while Sheik would be not return for several years. Believe it or not, The Iron Sheik actually gave an interview months later where, in an attempt to maintain kayfabe, claimed that he didn’t have a driver’s license in the U.S. and the WWF forced him to travel with Duggan to the show.
