Former NFL DE, sportscaster Marcellus Wiley arrested on alleged domestic battery charges
Former NFL defensive end and sportscaster Marcellus Wiley was arrested over the weekend on alleged domestic battery charges.
Wiley was arrested on July 4 in Orlando, Florida and booked into Orange County Corrections on one count of domestic battery.
Further details of the arrest have not yet been released.
The former NFL player is being held without bond while he awaits his court hearing. News of this arrest comes a few months after Wiley was accused of sexual assault by four different people in April.
Wiley denied those allegations on an episode of his podcast when he said, "They are attempting to leverage lies for personal gain, as they say, assassination by accusation, that's their goal. They trying by lying."
The defensive end was selected in the second round of the 1997 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. He spent four years with the Bills and then played with the Los Angeles Chargers, Dallas Cowboys and Jacksonville Jaguars before retiring following the 2006 season.
After his playing career ended, Wiley made the jump to TV as a sportscaster for both ESPN and Fox Sports. He most notably appeared on "NFL Live" and served as a co-host for "SportsNation."More recently, Wiley has gotten into podcasting with his "More To It" podcast and "Dat Dude TV" show that airs on YouTube.
