Blassie, was writing the book.
- Ric Flair's 21-year-old son Reid (Richard Reid Fliehr) was arrested on a
driving while impaired charge in Mecklenburg County, NC on 3/4. He was

the incident went unreported until today. A frustrated family source
told us: "I hope Reid decides to grow up." This is Fliehr's second
arrest in as many years. He was charged with two counts of assault and
battery in June of 2007.
