According to police records, Wilson has been charged with assault intentionally causing physical injury, damaging property and disorderly conduct. All three charges are misdemeanors related to domestic violence.

Citing police records, ESPN reports that Wilson became angry after discovering separation papers obtained by his wife, who had hired a private investigator and learned that Wilson was having an affair.
