Professional Wrestler "Kreepy the Clown" Arrested for Assaulting Autistic Heckler

A professional wrestler from Indiana, known as "Kreepy the Clown," found himself in hot water after a post-match brawl. Michael Keihn, 42, hailing from Muncie, was arrested on a felony charge for allegedly assaulting an autistic man who heckled him during a wrestling match last August.

The incident occurred at an Indiana Powerhouse Wrestling event held at the Delaware County fairgrounds on August 12. The victim, an autistic man, attended the event with his caretaker.

The trouble began when the autistic man became "loud and boisterous" and irritated some people around him. Event staff decided to move them to another location.

As the event concluded, "Kreepy the Clown" still in his wrestling costume, allegedly confronted the heckler. Keihn reportedly elbowed the man in the back of the head and yelled, "You wanna call someone a b----, call me a b----!"

In response, the heckler smashed a can of Coke in Kreepy the Clown's face, according to a witness.

The victim's caretaker tried to step in but was stopped by a crowd, with one spectator reportedly telling him, "Let them finish the fight." A witness described Kreepy the Clown shouting offensive language at the victim.

When someone else tried to intervene, Keihn allegedly said, "Just leave." The victim ended up with a broken nose and face lacerations, as per court records.

The manager of Indiana Powerhouse Wrestling confronted Keihn about the altercation, and the wrestler admitted to the brawl but claimed the victim was provoking him.

Keihn was subsequently fired over the incident. During a September 1 interview with investigators, he denied any involvement in the skirmish at the fairgrounds' parking lot that night.

If convicted, Keihn could face one to six years in prison. An attorney for Keihn has not been identified.

This strange incident involving a wrestling match and a clown persona has led to serious legal trouble for "Kreepy the Clown."
