Woman Talks About Kurt Angle's Alleged PFA Violation

Pro wrestler and Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle was back in court Wednesday morning after being arrested on charges of violating an order of protection in suburban Pittsburgh earlier this month.

Angle was in court Wednesday for a family court hearing on a protection from abuse order that was filed against him. The hearing was continued to Sept. 29.

After leaving court, Angle's accuser, Trenesha Biggers, who also works in the wrestling industry, talked with Channel 11 News.

"I was told that by filing the PFA I was forcing them to choose between the two of us," Biggers said of her employer. "I knew that when I filed it. I knew there was no way I was probably going to be able to work there anymore."

Biggers said she also doesn't know how she would be able to work or be around Angle anymore regardless.

"I've forgiven so many times for what he's done to me, and I've been around him and been fine, but now, he's gone and slandered me. In the wrestling ring, you got to be able to trust the person you're working with and know that they're not going to hurt you," Biggers said.

Angle, a Pittsburgh native and the current heavyweight champion of Total Nonstop Action Wrestling, was arrested at about 7:50 a.m. on Aug. 15 in a Robinson Township strip mall parking lot.

His girlfriend, who said she obtained a protection order about 1 1/2 hours earlier after the two fought a night before, alleged that he had circled the lot staring at her as she sat in a coffee shop, according to a police affidavit.

Police said they found the human growth hormone Hygetropin in Angle's car, and the wrestler told them he had a prescription for the drug. He also told officers he had not seen the woman and was looking for a hotel because he was barred from his home.

Angle, 40, was charged with violating the order of protection, harassment, possession of drugs and paraphernalia and driving with a suspended license.

After his arrest, Angle said the woman set him up.

“I told this girl it wasn't going to work out. She asked to use my car to go to the store. She went to police. She got a PFA, and the police came and kicked me out and put her in. This thing was so premeditated. I was in shock at how smart it was,” Angle said.

Angle's attorney, Michael Santicola, said there appears to be no cooperating evidence for the protection order. He said Angle stopped at the coffee shop on his way to a hotel and the woman happened to be there.

Angle is a two-time NCAA Division I wrestling champion at Clarion University in western Pennsylvania. He won the 220-pound championship at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, defeating Iran's Abbas Jadidi for the gold medal, and has been a professional wrestler since 1998.

In September, Angle was found not guilty of drunken driving in Moon Township outside Pittsburgh. A motorist told police Angle had cut her off while leaving a bar parking lot.
