2 Cold Scorpio arrested after stabbing, claims self defense

Charles Scaggs, better known to wrestling fans as 2 Cold Scorpio, has been arrested.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, he has been charged with first-degree assault and one count of armed criminal action. He is currently out on bond and due back in court next month.

The charges stem from an incident that took place in the early hours of June 15 at a Love’s Travel Stop location in Kansas City. Scorpio was working as a security guard in the store at the time the incident took place and said the victim lit up a cigarette inside. The victim claims he put the cigarette out before entering the store but it may not have been fully extinguished.

Scorpio is said to have confronted the man and an argument ensued. The confrontation continued outside the store when Scorpio alleges the man tried to grapple with him.

Scorpio told police that he pulled out a pocket knife and stabbed the man in self-defense several times. Police say when they arrived, the man was lying on the ground bleeding from several areas including his abdomen, buttocks, legs, chest, and head. Police were able to speak with him later that day at a local hospital, where he claimed Scorpio was the aggressor, but details regarding his current condition have not been disclosed.
