Former WWE Superstar Chad Wicks is back behind bars after another arrest in Iowa. The 48-year-old, best known for his time as Chad Dick on WWE SmackDown, was arrested on November 12, 2026, marking his third reported arrest in less than two months.
According to PWInsider, Wicks is currently incarcerated at the Winnebago County Jail in Forest City, Iowa. The circumstances surrounding his latest arrest have not yet been confirmed, and it remains unclear what charges, if any, he is facing.
This isn’t Wicks’ first run-in with the law recently. On November 4, he was arrested by the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s Office on several counts of failure to appear in court. He was released the following day after posting a $1,200 bond.
Before that, Wicks was arrested in Mason City, Iowa, on September 29 at approximately 6:19 PM local time. He was booked into the Cerro Gordo County Jail on several traffic-related charges, including an unsafe turn or failure to signal, improper rear lamps, failure to provide proof of financial liability, and driving with a denied, suspended, canceled or revoked license. Jail records from that arrest also listed Wicks as being booked for “detox.” He later posted bond and was released from custody.
Wicks joined WWE’s developmental system in Ohio Valley Wrestling, where he performed as Chad Toland. He eventually made it to SmackDown in 2005 as Chad Dick, teaming with James Dick as the tag team known as The Dicks. The team remained with WWE into 2006 before leaving the company.
After retiring from wrestling in 2007, Wicks was also involved in a class-action lawsuit against WWE over alleged injuries caused by repeated head trauma. The lawsuit, which included claims from several former wrestlers, was dismissed in 2018.
For now, Wicks remains behind bars following his latest arrest, with more details about the circumstances still pending. After three arrests since late September, the former WWE star is once again dealing with legal trouble outside the ring.
