In the wake of being faced with five violations,
including drug possession, by the Ohio State Highway Patrol, WWE.com reports
that Rob Van Dam and Sabu arrived at the Wachovia Center in Philadelphia at 1:30
p.m. today and immediately went into a meeting with Vice President of Talent
Relations John Laurinaitis.
Following the meeting, Mr. Laurinaitis told
WWE.com that Rob Van Dam and Sabu will be eligible to compete tonight on RAW and tomorrow night
at ECW on Sci Fi
while an ongoing investigation is being conducted by World Wrestling
Entertainment. The two men will be appearing in court Thursday morning at
Ironton Municipal Court.

According to the Ironton Tribune, Rob Van Dam and Sabu were pulled over
on U.S. 52, near Patrick Street in Hanging Rock, Ohio at about 10:15 p.m. Sunday
night. The two were apparently driving from their performances at the Big Sandy
Superstore Arena earlier in the evening.

According to the Ohio State Police, as reported by the Ironton Tribune,
Van Dam was initially stopped for speeding. When troopers approached his
vehicle, they smelled marijuana and performed a search. Troopers found RVD in
possession of 18 grams of marijuana and five Vicodin, prescription pain pills.
Sabu was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and also had nine pills
that were not immediately identifiable, but were known to be controlled
substances, according to the OSHP. Both were cited and posted bond at the scene.

From WWE.com. I'm surprised they are talking so matter of factly about this but knowing WWE they will turn this into an angle.

Not feeling so well so I'm just relaxing at home tonight so maybe I'll throw out a comment or 2 on RAW.
