LOS ANGELES: WWE legend and Hollywood actor Dwayne Johnson was reportedly issued a citation by police in Los Angeles after a minor legal violation following his attendance at a Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

According to international media reports, the incident took place when Johnson was returning from the event, where he was stopped by law enforcement over allegedly tinted car windows.
