At a show in the Dominican Republic, Piper was pulled out of the ring by cops and had a gun pulled on him before being handcuffed in the back. Speaking on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell said the following:

"I wasn't around him that much but I remember one time he went down to the Dominican Republic and I remember telling him about how dangerous Puerto Rico was and the Dominican Republic was even worse. I don't think he believed it till he got over there. He was a master of getting heat and people hated him anyway. I think he was pulled out of the ring by two cops. They pulled a gun on him inside the arena and took him to the back and I think handcuffed him. They didn't beat him up anything but he said he was fearing for his safety and his life. So that's the only story I have about Roddy Piper. Roddy said, 'I'll never go back there again.' Somebody told him that we tried to tell you the first time not to go but you wouldn't listen."

Dutch Mantell also said that WWE Hall of Famer Ric Flair was another wrestler who had a bad experience in the Dominican Republic. You can check out his comments in full HERE.
