Police tell us Runnels was charged with a single count of carrying a concealed firearm – a class three felony.

The charge carries a maximum punishment of five years in prison and up to $5,000 in fines.
The weapon Runnels was allegedly carrying was loaded with 11 rounds in the magazine and chamber and appear to be hollow-pointed, according to TMZ Sports. The hollow-point round is potentially a more devastating round for its effectiveness in causing more soft tissue damage upon striking a target.
Runnels was married to professional wrestler Goldust, whose real name is Dustin Patrick Runnels, from 1993 to 1999.
