An arrest warrant was filed for ex-WWE Tough Enough performer Daniel Rodimer earlier this week. PWInsider has since reported that Rodimer turned himself in to police and was released on a $200,000 bond - his court hearing is currently scheduled for 10 April.

Rodimer had been wanted for questioning in relation to the death of Christopher Tapp on 29 October last year. Witnesses reportedly said they saw Rodimer knock Tapp to the ground at a bar in Las Vegas. The incident is believed to have been sparked by Tapp offering Rodimer's stepdaughter cocaine.

KLAS followed up by reporting that Daniel turned himself in to the authorities at around 6pm on Wednesday evening. He was then released on the 200k bond, but will return to court for a hearing next month.

Some wrestling fans will remember Rodimer from the fourth season of WWE's Tough Enough program in 2004-2005. He was on the same cast as future stars like The Miz, Ryback and eventual winner Daniel Puder. Rodimer signed a developmental deal with the company, but was eventually cut from the roster in 2007.

He wasn't really involved in the wrestling business after that.
