Ex-NFL DE Marcellus Wiley's domestic battery case dismissed due to lack of evidence in Florida
Marcellus Wiley was arrested on July 4 in Florida after an incident with his wife, who filed for divorce days later.
Former NFL defensive end Marcellus Wiley's domestic battery case in Florida has been dismissed due to insufficient evidence, according to reports by USA Today and TMZ. The arrest occurred on July 4 in Orlando, where Wiley was charged with one count of domestic battery. His wife, Annemarie, alleged that Wiley had poked her face with his finger and threatened to kill her, claiming he had a history of violent behavior towards her.
The Los Angeles Times reported that she also accused him of rape and physical abuse of their children. A temporary restraining order was issued by a California judge, and Wiley filed for divorce alongside his wife. Prosecutors in Florida declined to pursue charges after testimonial evidence was deemed uncorroborated by physical or other evidence.
Wiley, a 10-year veteran of the NFL, played for teams including the Buffalo Bills, San Diego Chargers, Dallas Cowboys, and Jacksonville Jaguars, earning Pro Bowl honors in 2001. After retiring, he became a broadcaster with ESPN and Fox Sports.
