Real American Freestyle competitor Georgio Poullas has been arrested following allegations that he slammed a person through a glass table during a violent altercation at a bachelor party in Delray Beach, Florida.
Poullas, 26, and his brother Nicholas were taken into custody on June 5 after an oceanfront Airbnb gathering on Rhodes Villa Avenue reportedly descended right into a brawl. Georgio Poullas is affiliated with Real American Freestyle, the wrestling promotion launched by Eric Bischoff and the late WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan.
Based on a police report first obtained by the Boca Day by day News, Poullas’ occupation was listed as “YouTuber.” Authorities charged him with felony aggravated battery, alleging that he “intentionally or knowingly causes great bodily harm, everlasting disability, or everlasting disfigurement.”
Police were dispatched to the Airbnb after receiving reports of a giant fight involving multiple individuals. A probable cause affidavit states that Georgio and Nicholas Poullas were allegedly “berating” their sister, who was the bride-to-be and attending what was each a bachelor and bachelorette celebration.
The situation escalated when the groom and his brother attempted to intervene after Nicholas allegedly pushed the long run bride. Investigators say Georgio Poullas then punched the groom within the face, knocking him to the bottom. While the groom remained in a defensive position covering his head, Poullas allegedly continued striking him with punches to the back of the pinnacle and kicks to the ribs. The victim later told officers the attack felt like he was being “curb stomped.”
When the groom’s brother stepped in to stop the assault, police allege that Georgio Poullas “intentionally grabbed the groom’s brother and slammed him onto a glass coffee table” within the front room. Authorities further claim that Poullas continued attacking the person with punches and knee strikes while choking him.
Emergency responders treated the groom’s brother for multiple bleeding lacerations to his hands and above one eye. The groom reportedly suffered a cut to his upper lip in addition to a hematoma around his left eye and brow.
By the point officers arrived, several participants within the altercation had fled the scene, including the Poullas brothers. Nevertheless, police later positioned each men with the help of a K-9 unit, reportedly finding them “completely concealed” inside a bush at a neighboring residence.
Georgio Poullas was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail before being released after posting a $1,500 bond. Nicholas Poullas was charged with misdemeanor easy battery. Georgio is scheduled to return to court on July 9.
