A retired professional wrestler and former congressional candidate surrendered to police in Nevada on Wednesday after a warrant was issued for his arrest in the killing of a man — who himself was acquitted of murder — who died last year from a head injury at a Las Vegas Strip hotel, his lawyers said.
The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said earlier in the day that a warrant had been issued for the arrest of 45-year-old Daniel Rodimer on a charge of open murder in the death of Chris Tapp -- who previously served two decades in prison for a murder he did not commit.
Tapp, 47, was treated on Oct. 29 by medical personnel responding to a call for help after he was found at the hotel and taken to a hospital, where he later died.
