Report: Marcellus Wiley is arrested for alleged domestic battery

When we last mentioned Marcellus Wiley, he was angrily denying allegations of sexual assault, given the potential impact it will have when his son Googles his name.

Via TMZ, Wiley has been arrested for alleged domestic battery in Florida. Per the report, Wiley was booked into the Orange County jail on July 4.

He was still in custody when the TMZ item was posted at 8:58 a.m. ET on Sunday. Records show, per the report, that Wiley is being held for now without bond.

Details regarding the incident that led to the arrest are not yet available.

Obviously, Wiley is innocent until proven guilty. He’s entitled to all of the various Constitutional protections. Regardless, something happened to result in his arrest. He’ll surely have a response to the charge — unless his lawyer tells him to say nothing about it.

Wiley spent 10 years in the NFL, playing for the Bills, Chargers, Cowboys, and Jaguars. He worked for ESPN through 2018, and he then worked at Fox Sports until 2022.
