WWE Hall of Famer turned porn star arrested for making ‘terror threats’

A WWE Hall of Famer turned porn star has been accused of making “terror threats.”

Tammy “Sunny” Sytch, 49, was reportedly arrested on Thursday morning in Keansburg, New Jersey.

The WWE legend was taken into custody for allegedly making terroristic threats and unlawfully possessing a weapon, TMZ has learned.

According to court records, obtained by the news outlet, Sytch was taken into custody at the Monmouth County jail at 11am on January 13.

And although the court records didn’t specify how the alleged crimes were committed, Sytch was hit with two charges of illegally possessing a weapon and one charge for terroristic threats.

TMZ noted that the alleged weapon doesn’t appear to be a firearm.

According to New Jersey’s Code of Criminal Justice: “A person is guilty of a crime of the third degree if he threatens to commit any crime of violence with the purpose to terrorize another or to cause evacuation of a building, place of assembly, or facility of public transportation, or otherwise to cause serious public inconvenience, or in reckless disregard of the risk of causing such terror or inconvenience. 

“A violation of this subsection is a crime of the second degree if it occurs during a declared period of national, State or county emergency. The actor shall be strictly liable upon proof that the crime occurred, in fact, during a declared period of national, State or county emergency.”

“It shall not be a defense that the actor did not know that there was a declared period of emergency at the time the crime occurred,” the NJ Code of Criminal Justice adds.

In New Jersey, a person convicted of weapons charges could get up to five years in prison.

And a threats charge could result in a one-year sentence, TMZ reports.

Sytch’s Thursday arrest isn’t the first time the WWE Hall of Famer has gotten in trouble with the law.

Professional wrestling’s first diva was reportedly arrested for multiple alleged offenses including hiding from police officers back in 2020.

In July 2020, Sytch was arrested by the Middletown Township Police Department and booked into the Monmouth County Correctional Institution in New Jersey.

She was charged with eluding a police officer, two counts of contempt or violating a domestic violence restraining order, and “operating motor vehicle during second license suspension,” Monmouth County Sheriff’s Office records show.

Her name appeared as Tamara Sytch, 47, and no bond was posted.

Sytch’s run-in with law enforcement began around when Middletown Township police responded to a report of a dispute and arrested her for simple assault, Deputy Chief Paul Bailey said.

After the charge was filed on a complaint summons and processed, Sytch was released.

But one day later, officers responded to another call that Sytch was violating a temporary restraining order.

While investigating that report, police found Sytch driving a motor vehicle and pulled her over.

Sytch then drove away and a brief pursuit ensued, which ended when she crashed into an empty, parked car on Russet Drive in Middletown.

“The pursuit lasted for less than a minute and I would characterize [her] as uncooperative,” Bailey told The Sun.

Sytch was arrested again and transported to Hackensack Meridian Health Riverview Medical Center with minor injuries.

She was incarcerated at the Carbon County Correctional Facility in Pennsylvania in February 2019 after being arrested for allegedly driving under the influence in Seaside Heights, New Jersey.

Within two days, Sytch was out on parole after her lawyers petitioned for her release.

The 2019 DWI charge was her sixth since 2015.

Sytch competed in the then-World Wrestling Federation from 1995 to 1998 after a few years in Smoky Mountain Wrestling.

In 1996, while wrestling in the World Wrestling Federation, she was the internet’s most downloaded celebrity, according to America Online.

Sytch also became a manager and ring announcer and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2011 by the WWE Divas roster.

And in 2020, Sytch found a way to make hundreds of thousands of dollars from the adult website Only Fans, which releases revealing photos and videos for a monthly subscription fee.
