0:49Now PlayingRetired wrestling star Billy Jack Haynes — who grappled with the likes of Ric Flair and Randy Savage during his nearly 15-year career in the ring — has been arrested for allegedly fatally shooting his wife in their Oregon home last Thursday.
Police responded to reports of gunfire in the Portland neighborhood of Lents around 10 a.m. on Feb. 8 and learned that Haynes, 70, was inside the residence and refusing to come out.
With the help of SWAT teams, Haynes was taken into custody without incident after a two-hour standoff.

“He is in police custody at a local hospital while he is being treated for a medical condition unrelated to the homicide or his contact with law enforcement,” police said after the arrest.
