Liv Morgan’s case resolved following December marijuana possession arrest

Liv Morgan’s December arrest for marijuana possession has officially been resolved.

Court records show that the case against Morgan (real name Gionna Daddio) has been closed. Morgan was arrested in Florida in December 2023 on charges of possession of a synthetic cannabinoid and possession of marijuana (20 grams or less). Only the latter charge was remaining after the possession of a synthetic cannabinoid charge was dropped last month.

Morgan’s possession of marijuana charge had been transferred to a misdemeanor court after the more serious synthetic cannabinoid charge was dropped.

On January 31, the case was closed with Morgan submitting a plea of nolo contendere to the possession of marijuana charge. The case is listed as “adjudication withheld,” which means that Morgan was not formally convicted. It’s listed that she needs to pay an assessment of $543.

The arrest happened when Morgan was pulled over by a Sumter County sherriff’s deputy on December 14. The deputy claimed that Morgan’s vehicle crossed over the yellow and white lines on the roadway “several times.” The deputy detected the odor of marijuana after approaching Morgan’s vehicle. A vape pen and a small plastic bag containing marijuana were then found.

Morgan did not face any heat within WWE for the arrest. She was out of action with a shoulder injury at the time but made her return in the women’s Royal Rumble last month. In the Rumble, Morgan was one of the final two wrestlers left at the end of the match. Bayley eliminated her to get the victory. 

Morgan is facing Zoey Stark in an Elimination Chamber qualifying match on Raw next Monday. Becky Lynch has already qualified for the Elimination Chamber bout. The winner earns a title shot against Women’s World Champion Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 40.
