Armando Alejandro Montalvo just added to his legal situation — and it happened during a court hearing tied directly to his dead animal dumping case.
During an April 23, 2026 appearance in Florida, the man known to wrestling fans as the “OG NXT Performance Center stalker” livestreamed his own hearing on Facebook. The video itself showed a black screen, but the full courtroom audio was clearly broadcast — a serious issue in a state where recording or streaming court proceedings without permission is illegal.
The hearing itself centered on multiple animal control citations connected to incidents where Montalvo is accused of leaving dead animals outside an Orange County Sheriff’s Office substation on several occasions earlier this year.
During the livestream, Montalvo could be heard telling the judge he didn’t believe he had committed a crime, attempting to justify his actions tied to those incidents.
“I felt like I didn’t commit a crime or break the law… I filed the motion because I felt like I didn’t commit a crime.”
As he continued to explain his side, the judge cut in and clarified that the hearing wasn’t meant to determine facts or hear full arguments about the case.
“At this very limited proceeding the court does not take any evidence or make any determinations… it’s a simple we here to offer a not guilty.”
Montalvo also brought up confusion surrounding a separate arrest tied to the same situation, telling the court he was now dealing with multiple cases across different divisions.
“Now I’m dealing with two different separate situations… there’s been a lack of miscommunication throwing me around this whole entire courthouse.”
The judge responded by consolidating the cases into a single division and setting a pre-trial conference, while encouraging Montalvo to speak with a public defender before moving forward.
“I put them all in one division… set for a pre trial conference on May seventh at eight thirty… please speak to the attorney first.”
But the most serious issue coming out of this hearing may not be what was said — it’s the fact that it was broadcast live at all. Florida law prohibits unauthorized recording or streaming of court proceedings, and even though there was no video shown, the audio alone being shared publicly could carry legal consequences.
This all stems from a case where investigators say Montalvo repeatedly left dead animals outside a sheriff’s office, incidents that led to his arrest and ongoing legal proceedings. Now, instead of focusing solely on those charges, this livestream decision could complicate things even further as the case moves forward.
Do you think livestreaming a court hearing like this should lead to more charges, or was this just another reckless move? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
