0 6 - 0 1 - 2 0 0 5 Drug charge lands Mexican wrestling star in county jail
By MIKE GLENN
A fixture of the colorful world of Mexican wrestling was in the Harris County Jail on a misdemeanor narcotics charge today.
Hector Segura Solano, 35, who wrestles under the name Hector Garza, was arrested Monday on a charge of possession of a controlled substance. Bail has been set at $1,000.
Further details about the arrest and the drugs Segura is accused of
News of the arrest surprised some people. California-based wrestling promoter Liz Fairbairn had already hired Segura to compete in a Valentine's Day match in Los Angeles. "We just printed all our posters," she said. "I hope he's not in too much trouble."
Segura , who is from Monterrey, made his professional debut in 1992. "He's won some championships. He's getting a lot more visibility," Fairbairn said.
Segura, when teamed with a wrestler known as the Latin Lover, was popular with female fans for his Chippendales-like dancing skills, Fairbairn said.
Fairbairn said the arrest could hurt Segura's career. "It could cause major problems with him with the wrestling commission in Mexico," she said.
INTERNATIONAL STAR ARRESTED FOR DRUG POSSESSION EN ROUTE TO TNA TAPINGS
by Mike Johnson
TNA star Hector Garza (Hector Solano Segura) was arrested Monday in Houston, Texas on charges of possession of a controlled substance, which according to Mexican newspaper El Norte were anabolic steroids Primobolan and Deca-Durabolin, which is used to regenerate injuries and to fortify muscle tissue.
Garza, on his way to the TNA Impact! tapings in Orlando, Florida, was detained by Immigration agents at the IAH Houston Airport. Garza was placed under arrest and appeared in court yesterday in Houston. He is currently being held in a Harris County, Texas jail.
Garza’s brother Humberto told El Norte that the steroids were prescribed by a local doctor in Mexico, who overnighted the proof to the Mexican Consulate in Houston, so it can be turned into the court in Garza's defense. Humberto stated that Garza was being counseled by a personal attorney, while TNA was sending one as well. Garza’s bail was set at $1,000 but he was advised not to pay it for fear of being deported, which would destroy his Stateside career.
Garza, billed as the leader of Team Mexico, recently returned to TNA. Under new booker Dusty Rhodes, he was expected to receive a healthy push and had main evented Impact! recently against Scott Hall. His problems caused rewrites at the TNA taping on Tuesday evening, where the wrestlers were told he had “travel issues.”
