Kimber Lee Arrested Earlier This Year, Pre-Trial Hearing In DUI Case Set

Impact Wrestling and NXT alumnus Kimber Lee (Kimberly Frankele) has a pre-trial hearing scheduled for October 24th in Highlands County Court on charges arising from a DUI arrest.

The hearing is for a May 11th arrest in which Lee was charged with DUI, resisting a Law Enforcement Officer with violence, and battery.

According to the official police report, an officer spotted a grey Kia Soul facing the wrong direction stopped on a roadway at 4:54 PM EST on U.S. 27 and made a traffic stop.

The vehicle began moving and drove over the land onto the paved shoulder, and “almost collided with the face of the guard rail.”

The car then made a left turn into the parking lot of a shopping center and finally stopped.

Lee was driving the car and was described as having “blood shot watery eyes, and she slurred as she spoke.”

The officer noted that Lee kept “forgetting why [she had been stopped] and asked me several times when (sic) I was messing with her.”

The officer further added that he had to ask Lee several times for her driver’s license and that the wrestler attempted to leave the area multiple times so she could retrieve her laundry from a laundromat.

The officer explained to her that she was not supposed to leave but was to remain in her vehicle as she was suspected of being under the influence.

When the officer attempted to handcuff Lee, she allegedly resisted and struck him in the chest which caused him to place her under arrest for battery on a law enforcement officer.

The officer got one of the cuffs on Lee, who then allegedly “began kicking me in the chest and in my face, busting my lip and the gums in my mouth. At one point, the subject grabbed the cell phone and after I removed it from her hands and after I removed it from her hands, again I tried to place the restraints on her, and she my left hand twice hard enough to break my skin a (sic) bleed from it.”

Lee was ultimately detained and taken into custody by the Sebring, Florida Police Department, and transported to the Highlands County Jail.

The officer made contact with Lee after being treated for his injuries at a hospital and asked her to submit to a breathalyzer test.

Lee provided a sample at 10:22 PM, five hours after her initial arrest, that registered a 0.14 blood alcohol content. The legal limit in Florida is 0.08.

When asked to submit a second sample, Lee allegedly failed to comply and failed to “give a sample on purpose.” She pleaded not guilty to all of the charges on July 7.

Lee announced her retirement from wrestling on May 6, five days before the arrest.
