Man Claiming to Be Wrestler Sells Autographs

By Nina Settappa

GREENSBURG, Ind. (AP) - Police say a man who claimed to be retired pro wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin charged fans $10 to sign autographs at a Greensburg Wal-Mart.

He's being sought on identity theft and fraud charges.

Managers at the Wal-Mart in Greensburg became suspicious during the autograph session on Saturday and called police. By the time police arrived, the man had left with an undetermined amount of money.

Greensburg Police Chief Brian Heaton says police are working with World Wrestling Entertainment, which owns the rights to the name "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

A Wal-Mart spokesman says they're cooperating with police and have made refunds to some customers.
