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.
