WWE star Liv Morgan arrested for marijuana possession in Florida

Gionna Daddio, who performs in the WWE under the name Liv Morgan, was arrested for possession of marijuana following a traffic stop in Florida Thursday night. 

Sumter County police stopped Daddio when she drove erratically over the road near The Villages, northwest of Orlando, the Villages-News reported, citing an arrest report.

The outlet added that an odor of marijuana was detected when the officer approached Daddio’s jeep.

The officer then reportedly found a small plastic bag containing marijuana and a vape pen containing an oil-like substance, which was tested and also found to be marijuana.

Daddio was booked into Sumter County jail and released in under three hours after posting a $3,000 bond. 

She was charged with marijuana possession (not more than 20 grams), a first-degree misdemeanor, and possession of a synthetic cannabinoid, a third-degree felony, jail records showed.

The charges carry a punishment of up to one year in jail and a maximum fine of $1,000, according to the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.

Synthetic Cannabinoids are prohibited under WWE’s Substance and Drug Testing policy for its performers.
