A furious Bill Apter provided the update, following several websites reporting erroneous information that Snuka had been arrested and held in jail. What actually happened was Snuka was arraigned. He and his wife went to the arraignment, and after the charges were read, he and his wife got in their car and went home. Bail was posted and Snuka isn't being held in jail. The case revolves around the death of Nancy Argentino in 1983. The wrestling observer website is reporting that Snuka was charged with third degree murder and involuntary manslaughter. Argentino passed away after suffering traumatic brain injuries, in addition to cuts and bruises. Snuka has said that she suffered the injuries after slipping at the side of the road. WWE have said the following, in light of the case being back in the news - "WWE expresses its continued sympathy to the Argentino family for their loss. Ultimately this legal matter will be decided by our judicial system." Snuka is 72 years old and has recently had a battle with stomach cancer.
