We reported over the weekend here on eWn that Mark “Van Hammer” Hildreth was arrested for DUI after he hit a five-year-old boy while he was riding his vehicle. Van Hammer was later pulled from the April WrestleCon convention. In an update on this, Hildreth will be appearing in Palm Beach County Court at 9:00AM on Wednesday, February 26th to answer to the charges.
Hildreth was traveling 58 MPH in a 35 MPH zone when he hit the child. The five-year-old victim is suffering from “internal injuries and road rash.” With that being said, the boy’s injuries are not life-threatening.
Hildreth made bail on Wednesday night and is back at home. This is Hildreth’s third DUI charge.
