Buff Bagwell was arrested in Cobb County, Georgia recently. 

The 53-year-old has been charged with Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (misdemeanor) and Speeding (misdemeanor). He was arrested at 1:30 p.m. local time on July 13 and spent two days in custody before being released. 

However, Bagwell released a statement on Wednesday saying the offense is from years ago and he only received a sanction recently because he failed to document a trip out of state properly. 

Bagwell wrote: 

“Just wanted to clarify to everyone that I am 11 months sober (tomorrow). I see there is news out that I had to spend time in jail for a DUI but this was from the original offense years ago. I did get a recent sanction because I didn’t document a recent trip out of state properly”

This is the third offense Bagwell has on his arrest record in the county for DUI. He was arrested and charged with various offenses including DUI of Drugs on August 16, 2020. He was also charged with DUI of Drugs, Following Too Closely, and Failure to Yield to an Emergency Vehicle in 2005 as well.

Additionally, Bagwell was arrested on various driving related charges on May 22, 2021, although he was not charged with DUI in that case. 

Bagwell has been living with Diamond Dallas Page since May 2022 in an attempt to tackle his substance abuse issues. He posted to Twitter in December that he was 117 days sober.
