Former Seattle Seahawks offensive lineman Chad Wheeler entered a not guilty plea at Monday morning’s arraignment hearing in King County’s Maleng Regional Justice Center, per ESPN’s Brady Henderson.
Wheeler was arrested on Jan. 23 on suspicion of attacking his girlfriend at his Kent residence. He was formally charged with first-degree domestic violence assault, domestic violence unlawful imprisonment, and resisting arrest.
Among the many disturbing details recorded in the police report, the woman accused Wheeler of strangling her unconscious and then expressing surprise that she was still alive after she regained consciousness.
