Pro wrestler Jim "Sandman" Fullington was ordered yesterday to turn over his passport and cough up $10,000 bail to get out of the slammer after a glass-throwing melee at a Yonkers restaurant.
"Is this the Sandman I've been reading about in the media?" Westchester County Court Judge Barbara Zambelli asked as Fullington appeared in front of her to be arraigned on charges of felony assault and criminal mischief.
Fullington made headlines after going on an allegedly drunken rage Sunday at La Lanterna in Yonkers during a birthday party for wrestling icon Captain Lou Albano.
Sandman pleaded for leniency, telling Zambelli he needed to get home to Pennsylvania because his girlfriend is expected to give birth in the next few weeks.

Carlos sent this in:
Short interview.... shows JIM walking out the gates with his daughter beside him gestures at the guards as he leaves... speaks to News12 says he sends a shoutout to the guys in the yonkers city jail and that "those guys r cool with me" and says he cannot discuss the case... reporter reviews the incidents, Lou Albano birthday, la lanterna, psychiatric evaluation, surrender passport etc. etc.... NO MENTION about throwing glasses... sandman comes back saying "Keep It Real" and he walks off to a waiting car... reporter says Sandman has a court date ahead... |
