Carolina Panthers linebacker Damien Wilson was arrested in Frisco, Texas, last week after allegedly threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend.
According to Michael Williams of the Dallas Morning News, police said Wilson faces a charge of assault with bodily injury of a family member. Wilson's ex-girlfriend, Ryan Sokolosky, said that he threatened to kill her while holding a tire iron and slammed her laptop on the ground after they had broken up.
Wilson signed with the Panthers last month. A team spokesperson said they were aware of Wilson's arrest but had no comment.
Wilson's attorney Toby Shook denied the allegations.
