10. He Was Arrested For Public Intoxication In 2010
Wrestlers like to drink alcohol. It's part of the lifestyle. While it's not for everybody and it's certainly not as bad as it was decades ago, it's still something that a lot of wrestlers do. Back in January 2010, Jericho was in a cab along with Shane Helms (The Hurricane), Matt Hardy and other friends. Jericho and Hardy were arrested for public drunkenness. The story goes that police were called to the Shell station because Jericho and Helms had been fighting in a cab, and quoted police as saying both were extremely intoxicated. TMZ reported that
Helms struck three people who were also in the cab, including Jericho and two others. They were not charged for the violence. It was just for being too drunk in public. It was likely one of those things where they were just pretending to fight or were just bored at 4am that they decided to make a scene. They paid bonds of $120 each and the story went away. However, it was definitely one of those things that WWE frowns upon because they don't want their performers arrested and appearing on TMZ no matter how petty the crime was. Jericho wasn't really punished for it because he was a top guy while Helms was released about a month later. That could have been simply because he wasn't used that much anymore, but this arrest certainly didn't help him.
