Wrestler arrested for drugstore robbery: Former WWE and TNA wrestler

Travis Tomko has been arrested and charged with robbing a drugstore in

St. Augustine, Florida. 38-year-old Tomko walked into CVS Pharmacy on

Monday afternoon in an attempt to get Oxycodone--the infamous drug which

took the lives of wrestlers Andrew "Test" Martin, Luna Vachon, Sherri

Martel, among others. He allegedly threatened the pharmacist and ordered

him to go to the safe and pass over all the Oxycodone 15mg and 30mg he

had. The pharmacist, who believed that Tomko had a firearm concealed

under his shirt, handed over three bottles which contained a total of

210 tablets. Before making his getaway, Tomko said he was a drug addict

and needed help. Officers were dispatched to the Pharmacy to investigate

and recognized Tomko from surveillance tape footage. Units then

responded to Tomko's last known address but his wife said he was not

home. A few hours later Tomko was picked up at a nearby restaurant after

reports came in that a man was possibly using drugs inside the bathroom.

Officers found him with needle marks and blood running down his arms.

Tomko denies threatening the pharmacist and claims the pills were

volunteered to him. He told cops that he had lost his prescription and

that's the reason he asked for the pills. He admitted to being an addict

and said that recent personal problems had magnified his addiction. He

noted just before his arrest he had crushed down more than 100 pills and

injected himself. Officers transported him to a local hospital for

evaluation but he was deemed okay and later discharged by doctors. He

was formally charged at 5 AM this morning with felony strong arm

robbery. Tomko is currently incarcerated in St. Johns County Jail with

bond set at $7,500.

A former WWE wrestler was arrested in Florida yesterday after cops say he was injecting himself with stolen pain medicine ... while hiding inside the bathroom of a local Chili's restaurant.

 

Tyson Tomko -- who wrestled in the WWE between 2002 and 2009 -- is accused of robbing a CVS Pharmacy on October 10th ... allegedly threatening to attack the pharmacist unless he forked over several bottles of Oxycodone.

 

The pharmacist claims he complied -- and Tomko escaped with 210 tablets of the powerful painkiller.

 

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, Tomko went to a nearby Chili's ... where he asked his waitress for a spoon. When the server brought him a teaspoon, he asked for a "deeper spoon" ... and when he got it, he took it to the men's room ... where he remained for 30 to 40 minutes.

 

Cops were eventually tipped off ... and when they arrived on the scene, one officer says Tomko had "needle marks and blood running down his arm" ... and had just flushed something down the toilet.

 

Tomko was taken into custody -- and allegedly told police he has a "severe drug problem."

 

Cops say Tomko admitted he took the Oxycodone from CVS ... and injected 178 pills, which he crushed up and melted down ... but he swore he never threatened the pharmacist.

 

Tomko was taken to a nearby hospital ... then transported to a nearby jail, where he was booked for robbery. He's currently behind bars -- bond was set at $7,500.

Damn. Really liked Tomko, there was a point in TNA when he looked like their next big thing.

 

He's 38 years old and needs rehab. Guess that's probably it from his career then.

How long was he in the business for? Cant remember him ever doing much in WWE for years. I remember him in NJPW for a while, and he was in TNA for a bit, too. Someone who was only full on wrestling for a handful of years relying this much on pain pills shows you how fucked up things are.

But he could of been injured just once got pain medication then got addicted. Might not have anything to do with the schedule just might be a addict.
