Former WWE Boss Vince McMahon Allowed to Enter Pretrial Program in Reckless Driving Case
McMahon must donate $1,000 to charity and comply with driving conditions to avoid reckless driving charge dismissal after causing a multi-car crash, state officials said.
- A state Superior Court judge ruled Thursday that Vince McMahon, former WWE CEO, could enter a pretrial program if he made a $1,000 charitable contribution and drove only when licensed and insured.
- State police say McMahon was driving northbound on Route 15 when he rear-ended a BMW and hit a wooden guardrail on July 24 in Westport.
- A court filing notes the charges would be dismissed after one year if program terms are met, and Mark Sherman, attorney, said `not every car accident is a crime. That’s what happened here, an accident,` defending McMahon.
- He has denied the misconduct allegations while facing ongoing legal and public scrutiny, after stepping down as WWE CEO in 2022 amid sexual misconduct allegations and resigning from TKO Group Holdings last year.
- No one was injured in the crash, and other drivers did not object to McMahon's application for the pretrial program, while the judge's conditional approval sets a short timetable for possible dismissal.
