Summary
An arrest affidavit says Wiley’s wife, Annemarie, told Orlando-area police he threatened to kill her before he was arrested over a July 4 domestic battery incident at the World Marriott.
The affidavit says Wiley stood over her and intentionally poked her cheek with one finger in front of their 7-year-old daughter; other children were also in the hotel room area when officers arrived.
Wiley denied any physical altercation and disputed claims of past violence, while police noted text messages he showed them appeared cordial. He later posted that he “completely and unequivocally” denies the allegations.
Court records show the 51-year-old former NFL Pro Bowler was arrested Saturday by the Orange County Sheriff’s Office and was being held without bond.
The case adds to Wiley’s legal pressure after an April Rolling Stone report cited sexual-assault allegations by four women, which he has also denied.
