ESPN has been taking some serious heat recently for removing college football announcer Robert Lee from his duties calling Virginia’s season opener, due to the fact his name closely resembles Confederate general Robert E. Lee.
Now, the media giant appears to have another issue on its hands.
According to both TMZ Sports and The Sporting News, ESPN host Ryen Russillo has been arrested in Wyoming for criminal entry. He was taken into custody Wednesday. No other information regarding his arrest is available at this time.
Russillo has his own ESPN program called “The Ryen Russillo Show.” He previously had a show with Danny Kanell before the former FSU QB was laid off by the network.
We will continue to monitor this situation and update when more information comes available.
