Son of Ted DiBiase Sr. arrested after long police standoff

[Steveweiser]

Mike DiBiase, 36, the son of Ted DiBiase, was arrested after a long confrontation between the Amarillo Police Department and SWAT Team.

According to the police department, officers were told that a man wanted for a parole revocation violation, was inside a building where several businesses are located and was trying to break through a wall.

The police tried to contact the suspect, who they believed had access to weapons in the building. Negotiators were brought in. It wasn't until more than 17 hours later, at 5:10 a.m. that the SWAT team used chemical agents to force the suspect out of the building. He was found, hiding, and taken into custody and was taken to Randall County Jail.

DiBiase was booked into Randall County Jail.

DiBiase wrestled from 2006 to 2009, before being arrested in Huntsville, TX for possession of stolen property.

He came from a large wrestling family. His grandmother, Helen Hild, wrestled in the 50s. His grandfather, the original Iron Mike DiBiase was a college wrestling star who wrestled in the 50s and 60s. His father was a Hall of Fame wrestler, and two younger brothers, Ted Jr. and Brett, wrestled in the past for WWE.

Shame on the Million Dollar Man! He's richer than Scrooge McDuck and his sons are being forced to steal in order to survive!

This is an unfortunate story.

On another forum I visted, someone told a story about how Mike stole a belt from them. Here the quote that I found about the story.

When Dibiase was Texas champ he was going to Japan. Being Texas champ still means something there & NWA Southwest has a really shitty Texas belt. David Marquez contacted me about one of mine. I got with Mike & agreed on a price. He was leaving the next day so I went & overnight-ed the belt before I confirmed the payment had been received. He never paid me & eventually stopped taking my calls. Marquez was trying to help me with him for a while but to no avail.

Doesn't surprised me that this happen and it probably the reason why he never got hired by the WWE when his two brother did.

Son of the Million Dollar Man sounds like a Universal Horror movie.

Damn trust fund kids think they're above the law.

[SOR]

It's a shame, I remember back in 06-07 that Mike was viewed as a guy who could really make an impact in WWE in the eyes of the fans at least.

I remember hearing a few years back that things had gotten so bad with Mike that his father and brothers were no longer in contact with him. Hopefully this can be a wake up call to him.

Damn, that's my hometown

Amarillo police arrested a man Thursday after a lengthy standoff in northwest Amarillo.

Amarillo Police Sgt. Brent Barbee said officers arrested Michael Wills Dibiase, 37, of Amarillo at 11:32 a.m. after they found him hiding under cardboard boxes in a building at 3914 N.W. 12th Ave.

Dibiase was arrested on an outstanding parole revocation warrant and was transported to the Randall County jail, where he was booked on the warrant and a charge of hindering apprehension, Barbee said.

No injuries were reported during the standoff, he said.

The search, Barbee said, took several hours because the building was large and contained many obstacles.

Officers faced wind chills below zero during the 12-hour standoff.

Barbee said the standoff was one of the longest he could remember in his career.

Streets in the area of 12th Avenue and North Forest Street were closed while police gathered more information for their investigation.

SWAT officers initially entered the building at 5:10 a.m. and used chemical agents and a remote-controlled law enforcement robot in their search for the suspect.

Earlier Thursday, Amarillo Independent School District asked students and staff of Amarillo Area Center for Advanced Learning, 1100 N. Forest St., to stay away from the campus until the standoff was resolved.

“Our teachers are helping monitor the students at their home campuses until we figure out the situation is all clear,” AACAL Principal Jay Barrett said.

Afternoon classes resumed after the standoff ended, he said.

Jesse Rodriquez, an employee at Cook Electrical Contracting — a business in the building blocked off by police — turned his attention toward the building after a loud boom came from the area near officers.

“I hope everyone comes out of this all right,” Rodriquez said.

Barbee said the loud noises were from “explosive tools” used by police. He did not elaborate.

Workers at other area shops were concerned the standoff would keep customers away.

Ken Shelton of Westwinds Amarillo Wholesale, 839 N. Forest St., said he heard what he described as a “flash-bang” go off about 8 a.m. inside the building surrounded by police.

Events leading to the standoff started late Wednesday.

At 11:12 p.m., officers learned a man wanted on a parole violation warrant was inside the building, police said.

The building contains two or more businesses, police said. Officers approached the building to locate the suspect, and police said they found a vehicle that belongs to him in the parking lot.

Police said they tried to contact the man through a public address system.

At 1:14 a.m., police said employees from the trucking company came out and told officers they had seen a man breaking through a wall.

Police said a man from another business in the building also came out. He was not the wanted person, police said.

Police and SWAT officers and negotiators were called to the scene after police learned the suspect might have had access to weapons.

Ted DiBiase ‏@mdmteddibiase

Please pray for my oldest son Mike. He's been arrested again and is in jail. Pray that God would break his pride and he would grow up.

[goodbyehorses]

Damn that affluenza!

[The Dark Order Inferno]

He would have gotten away with it were he Ted Jr, his blandness would have made both officers and eyewitnesses forget he was ever there, just like his WWE run.

[________ has left the building]

Mike was making a name for himself in Texas before those damn demons took over. The reason why WWE didn't hire him because he was too problematic and a liability. Shame he decided to be a professional scumbag. Could had stayed in pro wrestling to do that and at least get paid decently.
