COLUMBUS POLICE EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARRESTED SHAD GASPARD

TMZ.com featured the other side of the Shad Gaspard story this evening with comments from the Columbus, Ohio police department.

Their version of events is that the former WWE star was walking in the street and obstructing traffic. When he refused to show identification and "ignored" a request not to walk in the street, an officer attempted to take him into custody. Gaspard broke free, which is why the additional police were called.

As previously noted, Gaspard has claimed he did nothing wrong. MMA fighter Josh Barnett, who was with Gaspard, claimed on his Twitter that Gaspard was arrested for jaywalking after the police made a big deal about nothing. Gaspard's wife has since claimed racial profiling.
