Former NFL star Marcellus Wiley has been arrested on a domestic battery charge after his wife, Annemarie Wiley, alleged that he threatened to kill her during an altercation in a hotel room in Orlando. The incident, which reportedly took place in front of their seven-year-old daughter, led to police being called to the World Center Marriott where the family was staying.
The 51-year-old former defensive end, who played in the National Football League for a decade, was detained on 4 July. Details of the allegations were outlined in an arrest affidavit obtained by news organisations.
