This past Saturday in Illinois was home to the big indy event, “All In”. While a lot of indy talent attended and performed at the event, a producer for the show couldn’t make due to the fact that he got arrested.

The Schaumburg police department of Illinois has reported that Adam Carlson Birch, aka Joey Mercury, was arrested outside the Marriot Schaumburg (the location of Starrcast this past weekend).

Police arrived on the scene after getting a notice that a male was sleeping in a vehicle at the Marriot. They approached Mercury and ran his information and discovered that he was wanted for an outstanding warrant in Orange County, Florida. Thus getting arrested for the warrant.

At this time there is no word on what were the chargers of Mercury’s Orange County warrant but is being held on a $2,500 bail in Cook County Correctional Facility. Mercury has a court date on 9/4/2018 and is expected to be extradited back to Florida by then.

Joey Mercury signed with WWE back in 2002. He would later debut as one half of the tag team known as MNM in 2005, where he would be paired with then, Jonny Nitro, and Melina. Mercury would be released in 2007 but would return back in 2010 to work the Straight Edge Alliance angle with CM Punk. After his 2010 run, Mercury would work as a producer for the company and received praise for his innovational ideas and finishes for many matches. Unfortunately, Mercury would be released from WWE in 2017 and found work as a producer in ROH.
