MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - A former pro wrestler is in trouble with the law after sucker-punching another man at a local bar early Thursday morning.
Two police officers patrolling near the Eleventh Hour Bar and Grill on North Ocean Boulevard heard a woman yelling at a man near the entrance to the business and found the man bleeding from his right hand.
Upon further investigation, police learned the wrestler, identified as Gregory Robinson, sucker-punched Jason Mills who was found incoherent and bleeding from the mouth inside of the bar. Two of Mills' teeth had been punched out of his mouth.
Police say Robinson confessed the man was "messing with [him] so [he] hit him."
Both Robinson and Mills were transported to a local hospital to receive treatment for their respective injuries.
Robinson was charged with assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and possession of an illegal weapon for a lockblade knife that was found in his pocket.
