Panthers LB Damien Wilson arrested after allegedly threatening to kill his ex-girlfriend

Carolina Panthers linebacker Damien Wilson was arrested in Texas last week after he allegedly threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend, according to The Dallas Morning News.

Wilson, who got his NFL start with the Dallas Cowboys, was arrested in Frisco and was charged with assault with bodily injury of a family member.

Wilson’s ex-girlfriend said she broke up with him, and that Wilson showed up at her apartment and threatened to kill her with a tire iron, per the report. She also said that Wilson took her laptop and put it in a blanket and then smashed it on the ground, but said that it was her cat inside.
