ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Recent court documents viewable on News 6 reveal that former NFL athlete and TV commentator Marcellus Wiley, who faced arrest in Orange County last month, will not see charges formally pursued against him.
Everything began when deputies were summoned to the World Center Marriott along World Center Drive during the bustling Fourth of July celebrations, the records disclose.
The arrest affidavit indicates Wiley’s wife claimed to officers that he had jabbed her cheek the day before. She also expressed her fear of him and alleged he had made threats to her life.
However, Wiley, now 51, refuted these claims, insisting no physical exchange occurred. He presented deputies with text messages which, he argued, showed mutual friendliness between them. The deputies also reported an absence of noticeable injuries and that there were no witnesses who saw the alleged confrontation.
Court records unveiled on Monday disclosed that the case would not proceed to charges due to the unsubstantiated testimonial evidence, lacking enough corroboration for a conviction to be secured.
Wiley has played for multiple NFL teams, including the Jacksonville Jaguars.
