Cops: Ric Flair roughed up by daughter's boyfriend By MARLON A. WALKER Associated Press Writer
RALEIGH, N.C. - Most of former professional wrestler Ric Flair's fights were scripted. But Chapel Hill, N.C., police didn't find anything fake about the blood and bruises on the Nature Boy after a fight with his daughter's 22-year-old boyfriend. Neither man was charged, but Flair's daughter, Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr, was charged for resisting police after the 22-year-old became belligerent and kicked an officer, Chapel Hill police Lt. Kevin Gunter said Tuesday. <http://www.ajc.com/entertainment/content/shared-gen/ap/Other_Entertainm ent/People_Ric_Flair_Fight-image.html> (enlarge photo) <http://www.ajc.com/entertainment/content/shared-gen/ap/Other_Entertainm ent/People_Ric_Flair_Fight-image.html> In this Sept. 22, 2007 file photo, wrestler Ric Flair addresses the media during a news conference at Dover International Speedway in Dover, Del. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster, file) Neighbors called police about 2:30 a.m. Friday about a fight at an apartment in the city about 30 miles northwest of Raleigh. The fight was over, but officers followed a trail of blood to Fliehr's apartment. She told police the men had fought but it was over and things were fine. Officers found the 59-year-old Flair, whose real name is Richard Fliehr, on a bed in the back room. The boyfriend was in another part of the apartment. Flair admitted fighting with the boyfriend but he didn't want to press charges, Gunter said. Gunter refused to give the boyfriend's name because he was not charged. "He was kind of elusive," Gunter said of Flair. "He said everything was fine. Officers said he had a 'no problems here' kind of attitude. He just wanted everything forgotten." Flair, known for his platinum blond hair, fur-lined robes and signature "Wooooo!" catchphrase, retired earlier this year after a 36-year career. He had wrestled for a number of big-name organizations, including World Championship Wrestling and World Wrestling Entertainment. A call to a cell number listed for Flair to obtain comment was not answered Tuesday. Officials at The Gillespie Agency, based in Columbia, S.C., said they only book Flair for appearances. His daughter did not have a listed number Oliver Barry, CRS, GRI Real Estate Broker Halo Realty, LLC 700 E.
