The wife of Ric Flair has been charged with assaulting her husband, widely considered the greatest professional wrestler of all time.

Jacqueline Beems, 41, was charged with misdemeanor assault, after she allegedly struck Ric Flair at their home following a night out.

She spent several hours in jail before she was released.

Ric Flair's agent released the following statement.

"Ric and his wife had an unfortunate disagreement late (Sunday) night, which led to his wife being arrested and charged with assault. Ric has done nothing wrong. ... Ric finds this incident unsettling and is committed to correcting any issues in his personal life."

Ric Flair is 61 years old and still competes in an Orlando-based promotion called Total Nonstop Action.

Pro wrestling fans from the 1980s remember his heyday when he wrestled the likes of Sting, Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat and Lex Luger.
