Panthers LB Damien Wilson arrested for threatening to murder ex-GF with a tire iron
According to Michael Williams of the Dallas Morning News reports, Panthers linebacker Damien Wilson was arrested in Texas last week after an ex-girlfriend accused him of threatening to kill her.
The Frisco police charged Wilson with an assault with bodily injury of a family member. Wilson, 28, was also arrested for assault in 2017. This is not a great look. However, no grand jury indictment came from that incident.
Wilson's ex-girlfriend, Ryan Sokolosky, told the newspaper that he showed up at her apartment drunk and threatened to kill her while holding a tire iron.
Wilson then choked a friend of Sokolosky's who was with her on the same night. He then followed the two women into Sokolosky's apartment, where the alleged choking occurred, before getting back into his car and attempting to run Sokolosky over with the vehicle.
It was also reported that Wilson smashed his girlfriend's laptop and caused damage to her patio. She shared photos of the destroyed computer and patio damage with the Frisco police.
Damien Wilson's attorney, Toby Shook, denied the allegations.
Wilson was drafted by the Cowboys in 2015. He played 4 seasons in Dallas. He then played for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars. He recently signed a contract with the Carolina Panthers. Wilson is actually a very solid player and he has started all of his team's games in the past 3 seasons.
This is just sad and it seems like a story like this involving an NFL player is happening every week...
