Details have been released about what led to the arrest of former NFL star and ESPN analyst Marcellus Wiley in Florida this past weekend.
Wiley was arrested after his wife, Annemarie, called police Saturday afternoon in Orlando to report a battery, according to TMZ.
Annemarie told police that Wiley poked her in the cheek and threatened to kill her, according to an arrest affidavit TMZ viewed.
The couple’s three children and other children were in the room at the time of the alleged threat, according to the report. The family was in town for a basketball tournament.
Annemarie also told police that on Friday she was sitting on the bed and Marcellus was standing over her when he “used one finger to sternly and intentionally poke her in the cheek” in front of their 7-year-old daughter.
Annemarie is planning on divorcing Wiley, she said.
Wiley told police that he and his wife did not have a physical altercation and showed police text messages between the couple that were cordial, according to the report. However, police found probable cause to arrest Wiley for domestic violence battery.
Wiley was a defensive lineman in the NFL from 1997 to 2006. He was drafted by the Buffalo Bills in the second round of the 1997 NFL Draft out of Columbia University.
Wiley played for the Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars during his NFL career. He was a second-team All-Pro in 2001 when he recorded 13 sacks and five forced fumbles for the Chargers.
The California native, who said earlier this year that he could get into politics, appeared in 147 games, making 79 starts, across his 10 seasons in the NFL. He finished his NFL career with 321 tackles, 44 sacks and 13 forced fumbles.
He went on to work as a football analyst at ESPN and FS1 following his playing days.
