The Phenom was driving when he spotted a cop. However, Mantell told Taker to keep driving as they were almost at the Tennessee border, but things didn’t go that way. The police officer pulled over.

Mantell recalls, “Right before we get to the exit, here comes the blue light, pulled us over. They the searchlight came on strong. Then we heard the trooper’s voice over the loudspeaker, ‘Get out of the vehicle, turn your car off. Take your keys, drop them on the pavement and exit your vehicle facing the front of your car with your hands in the air.’”

He added, “I said, what the hell is this! This is serious and then I heard other sirens coming (imitates siren voice). One’s off this side and one’s on the other side. So he got him (The Undertaker) back there, searched him. Took him back of the car. I think he handcuffed him. I’m not sure.”

There was another wrestler, Action Jackson, also present with them, and all three wrestlers had worn a Durąg. Mantell thought it was a much more serious thing, as there were five police vehicles that came in there.
