Kaitlyn Arrested

[Jack-Hammer]

According to TMZ, WWE Diva was arrested last night at the SmackDown! tapings in Michigan last night.

According to TMZ, the cops showed up at the arena where last night's show was being filmed with a warrant for Kaitlyn's arrest. They took her into custody due to an outstanding speeding ticket.

Kaitlyn herself told TMZ, ""During a previous visit to Michigan, I was cited for a traffic violation. I am fully cooperating with authorities to resolve the matter." They booked her and let her out on a $315 bond.

I'm pretty certain this won't affect Kaitlyn's push. It's not as if she was arrested for driving under the influence or getting into some other altercation that might potentially embarrass the WWE. I know it's the law and all but it's just kind of silly. Maybe due to being surrounded by real criminals at work all the time, but I see it as a waste arresting someone over something as trivial as a speeding ticket.

Yeah, but not 'til they caught up with her.

Hey, the guys of WWE have nothing on the gals when it comes to getting in trouble. Consider Tiffany McIntyre beating up Drew.... and the girl from the Funkasaurus troupe bribing a cop. Leave it to a person in WWE to find a way of negating their own push with misdeeds that have nothing to do with their in-ring performance.

Then again, this is only a moving violation rather than domestic violence or bribery, although WWE's problem with it might involve still another hit to their public image. This is the kind of thing the company would love to keep quiet, but given today's media coverage, that's a tough thing to do.

In the end, it will probably be resolved with no fanfare. That's a benefit of being a person with a powerful corporation behind them.....you try seeing what happens when you get a speeding ticket and leave the state.

Dispatch: Officer we're sending you a warrant for the arrest of Kaitlyn. She works for WWE, they're in town tonight. The perp in question is a female in her mid 20's, with muscular arms, a permanent pouty face, and two hairdos but only one head.

Officer: i've spotted her, you couldn't miss that hair from a blimp.

This doesn't sound like much. Sally's point about the trouble making Divas is a good one. But this isn't much of a story beyond an irresponsible person hoping a minor traffic violation disappears on it's own. It didn't and now TMZ has another story to run when Lindsay Lohan decides to sleep all day.

I don't expect WWE to do anything about this.

Geez Jack-Hammer, the title of this thread makes it seem like it's a big deal. I'm not saying anything about Kaitlyn's status in the WWE, I'm referencing that it was for a moving violation. Probably the only reason they picked her up is because, knowing what she does for a living, they knew exactly where she was going to be for a night when she was back in the state.

It's pretty standard fare when a touring performer- be it music, sports, etc.- visits town with unpaid obligations. Most sports teams have managers that handle travel, so you really don't hear about Lebron's unpaid speeding tickets.

The lesson here is that police take that unpaid red light ticket far more seriously than you think they do.

People try to make speeding out to not be such a big deal, but in some cases it really can be. The speed limits are set for a reason. That reason being so that the traffic in that area will be safer. This is why the speed limits can be as high as 70+ on freeways but tend to be 40 or lower in areas full of pedestrian activity. I never understood why everyone always has to speed. Sometimes it feels like I am the only person around who follows the speed limit. I never speed unless there is an emergency of some sorts, which luckily has been very rarely. People just speed without caring though and I don't understand why they cannot respect a law that is meant to keep them safer. There are laws out there far more worthy of arguing about than speed limits.

She should not have been speeding. Period. Is it as big of a deal as something like murder? Of course not.... She still broke the law though. If she was in a hurry to get somewhere then she should have planned to leave earlier. I agree with those who have been saying it likely will not have that much of a negative impact on her push. This incident will hardly ruin her life, she just did something stupid that several people do on a daily basis. It must have been a heck of a violation if they had to arrest her over it. Either way, she broke the law and admitted it, now let's just move on to more relevant issues.

Not necessarily- many states will pursue people who fail to pay a speeding ticket. For drivers within that state, it isn't hard- you're going to run into them the next time they register their car or renew their license, so there often isn't much of a point in sending an arresting officer. If you're going to be arrested for speeding, it happens there.

For drivers from out-of-state, however, it's a bit harder. They're going to be leaving again, and are only around for a limited time. They usually have plans which entail their leaving the state, which being in jail would interfere with. They have a strong incentive to pay the fine and leave. For celebrities, this is so much the more so- it is great advertising for the police to have "WWE Diva Arrested by Michigan Police" on TMZ. If people see that they're arresting celebrities for a few hundred dollars, they're going to take their own obligations that more seriously.

Right. So where do you draw the line? 32 in a 30? Because that happens, and are you really gonna tell me that 2 mph makes a lot of difference? Also, you do know that speedos aren't accurate, I've known them to read 70mph when the actual speed has been nearer 80mph. And I must commend you for being such a paragon of virtue, never speeding, how does it feel to be the 1 in a million? Although I actually suspect you're making yourself seem a lot better than you are, it is remarkably easy to drift over the speed limit, I myself have found my speed creeping up, essentially because your foot is slowly but surely dropping, therefore creating more pressure on the accelerator. If, as you say, you have NEVER gone over the speed limit, you truly deserve a medal!

Wow the guys have a lot of catching up to do when it comes to getting into trouble. Why did kaitlyn wait until she was arrested to resolve this matter. Did she think "Oh I wont get caught its all good".

This is some minor minor charge she has. I fully expect WWE not to do a damn thing about this

[The Tay]

Ugh even I have to admit, that the title sounds like something out of a WWE storyline.However it's not as TMZ reports

it all went down at the Van Andel Arena ... sources tell us the 26 year old was taken into custody by the Kent County Sheriff stemming from an old speeding ticket.

Were told shortly after she arrived at the arena police showed up with a warrant ... she was hauled to a nearby police station where she was booked and took a pretty impressive mugshot.

A short time later Kaitlyn -- real name Celeste Bonin -- was released on a $315 bond.

Kaitlyn released a statement to TMZ .. saying, “During a previous visit to Michigan, I was cited for a traffic violation. I am fully cooperating with authorities to resolve the matter.”

Overall, I am sure this is embarrassing for the Diva and she will probably do her best to take care of this matter immediately.

No biggie.
