Michael Elgin has not been arrested and deported.
The pro wrestling star took to social media to address reports stemming from Japan claiming that he was arrested for stealing protein powder.
"I’m not going to bother saying what happened, but I am going to say I was not charged for stealing protein," Elgin wrote in response to the reports making the rounds. "I’m not charged at all, I am not facing jail time. I’m also not deported."
Elgin continued, "I am going to Canada to be with my family after the passing of an extremely close family member. I completely understand people don’t ever want to believe anything other than what they wish were true. I’m not going to debate with people. But, I am on my scheduled flight home. Also, first class. Doesn’t seem like deportation."
