Jimmy Snuka

ALLENTOWN — Pro wrestling star Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka, 73, is mentally incompetent to stand trial in the death of his girlfriend more than three decades ago, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Lehigh County Judge Kelly Banach ruled from the bench after a four-day hearing on whether Snuka should face trial on murder and manslaughter charges in the death of 23-year-old Nancy Argentino.

Snuka pleaded not guilty and was released on bail. His mental fitness will be re-evaluated in six months.

The defense said Snuka suffers from dementia.
