Bagwell posted bond on Monday and was released from custody.
As of this writing, there is no word on when the incident actually took place. We reported last year here on eWn that Bagwell was hospitalized after he lost control of his car and hit a curb, which led to him colliding with the center median and a metal fence. He then hit a free-standing bathroom at the Cobb County Transit bus station. While not confirmed, it appears this latest arrest is related to that incident. The Cobb County Police Department Selective STEP Unit had been investigating the incident and found that he was impaired by prescription medication.
