As we previously reported, Wheeler is facing a series of charges stemming from the violent incident, including first-degree domestic violence assault. He is accused of choking his girlfriend unconscious on two occasions, severely bludgeoning her face and injuring her arm on January 22nd.
He apologized for the incident days after it happened, saying he was in the middle of a manic episode due to bipolar disorder. “I apologize profusely for the turmoil that I have caused to my family, teammates, fans and those closest to me. The most important thing right now is that [the alleged victim] gets the care she needs and I get help. Both are happening.”
