Patrick Clark Jr., who wrestled for WWE as Velveteen Dream, was arrested twice in August. The initial arrest occurred on August 20th for battery and trespassing, and he was again taken into custody on August 26th for possession of drug paraphernalia. Subsequently, it was revealed that for the first arrest, the former NXT star had struck and threatened to end the life of a gym employee at Club Orlando after he was asked to leave an area closed for cleaning.
While his attorney would file a plea of not guilty, officers noted that the victim had a bite mark on his chest near his armpit, likely caused by Clark. And now TMZ, who loves stories like this, has shared a video of this arrest for the world to see.
Clark looked destined for WWE superstardom and built a big fan following in NXT. However, in 2020 his supporters deserted him when disturbing allegations were made claiming he had an unhealthy interest in minors. And while WWE claimed they carried out an internal investigation that cleared him, fans wouldn’t forget, with #FireVelveteenDream becoming a regularly trending topic. Ultimately this would cause WWE to release the promising talent on May 21st, 2021, effectively ending his career.
