According to Florida public records, the incident that led to Wheeler’s arrest took place several weeks ago. A warrant for his arrest was issued on July 28. He entered a “not guilty” plea on August 3 and was arrested on the morning, of August 3.
During his arraignment hearing on August 18, Wheeler’s lawyer requested bond be set at $2,500. It was stated that the incident was not a domestic issue and that Wheeler did not know the other parties.
It has been noted that the state noted that the incident “appeared to be a road rage-type incident” and Wheeler allegedly flashed a gun at the alleged victim.
