As previously reported, former WWE and AAA star Alberto El Patron was arrested earlier this week in San Luis Potosi, Mexico, after his wife made an emergency call reporting that she was a victim of domestic abuse. Following his arrest, El Patron was handed over to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Attention to Women, Family, and Sexual Crimes.
According to the media outlet Milenio, El Patron will remain in preventive detention. A control judge made the ruling to keep him in custody after he was formally charged by the State General Prosecutor’s Office with family violence. Reports indicate that the incident occurred on Monday in the Lomas del Tec neighborhood, and police detained him “right at the moment” he was assaulting the victim, who had visible injuries to her face and arms.
As a result of his arrest, El Patron has been suspended by the Mexican wrestling promotion The Crash. This incident comes less than a month after he launched a new wrestling promotion in Mexico, LM52, alongside Dr. Wagner Jr.
El Patron has previously faced accusations of domestic violence from past partners, including Saraya. Additionally, he was charged with four counts of sexual assault and one count of aggravated kidnapping related to allegations that he assaulted a woman after accusing her of infidelity. He reportedly forced her to “wear a dress and dance for him” before violently sexually assaulting her over a period of 16 hours. These charges were dropped in December 2021, reportedly due to a witness going missing.
