CERRO GORDO COUNTY, Iowa — Former professional wrestler Chad Charles Wicks, known to WWE fans as Chad Dick, was booked into the Cerro Gordo County Jail on September 29, 2026, according to jail records.

The jail record lists four separate cash-only bonds in the defendant’s name. Combined, the bonds total $1,501.51.

Wicks is known for his professional wrestling career under several ring names, including Chad Dick and Chad Toland. Wrestling reference sources identify him as a Mason City native who competed for WWE, including appearances on SmackDown, before retiring from professional wrestling in 2006.
