    "TUF 10" and UFC veteran Mike Wessel arrested for "terroristic threats"

    Mixed-martial-arts fighter Mike Wessell sits in a Jonesboro, Ark. jail after a disturbance early Sunday morning.

    Wessel, 32, was arrested on suspicion of public intoxication, disorderly conduct and first-degree terroristic threatening after he and five other fighters allegedly caused a disturbance at a local pub.

    Wessel could face up to six years in prison for the threatening charge and one year each for the public intoxication and disorderly-conduct charges.

    Corporal Wayne McClard of the Jonesboro Police Department today told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com ) that JPD officer David Stout was called to Creegan's Irish Pub at around 2 a.m. on Sunday to investigate a domestic disturbance call involving six MMA fighters.

    Shortly after he arrived, officer Stout witnessed Wessel charge a crowd in front of the pub. He restrained the fighter and took him to the Craighead Country Detention Center.

    Wessel became irate during the car ride to the detention center and began making threats when its jailers attempted to restrain him, according to an arrest report.

    "Several jailers and a deputy arrived and placed [Wessel] into the restraint chair," McClard read from Stout's police report. "He began making death threats toward me and my family, and said that he was going to kill me and my kids."
