Former NFL player and broadcaster arrested on domestic battery charge

Former NFL player and sports broadcaster Marcellus Wiley was arrested Saturday on domestic battery charges after an incident in Florida. Wiley, 51, was booked into the Orange County jail and is being held without bond, according to court records.

Prior allegations Earlier this year Wiley faced several sexual assault allegations, which he denied. He posted a response on his YouTube channel expressing concern about how the accusations would affect his son. "To me, it’s about my son’s name that he will one day Google and think that this is about him, but he’s gonna know it’s about his dad.

And how dare you stain the brain of my child," Wiley said. Wiley later posted on X that three prior cases had already been dismissed.

Broadcasting career After a decade-long NFL career, Wiley worked at ESPN through 2018 as a host on SportsNation. He later moved to Fox Sports, where he hosted Speak for Yourself on FS1 until 2022 alongside Jason Whitlock and later Emmanuel Acho. Details of the incident leading to the latest arrest remain unknown.
