More details have come to light concerning exactly what Cash Wheeler is being accused of in connection to his arrest for aggravated assault with a firearm earlier today.
The report from the responding police officer, Officer M. Bowhay of the Orlando Police Department, includes a description of what the alleged victim claims happened on July 27.
On July 27, 2023, at 0959 I, Officer M. Bowhay #19932, responded to (address redacted) in reference to an aggravated assault with a firearm call. Upon my arrival I spoke to the victim, (name redacted), who provided me with a sworn written/verbal statement that said the following: (The victim) stated he was driving west on Interstate 4 north of Exit 83. He noticed a Jeep Gladiator weaving in and out of traffic honking its horn, so he moved over to the far-right lane to let the Jeep pass.
(The victim) said the Jeep took the right shoulder to drive around him on the passenger side of his vehicle. (The victim) looked over and noticed a white male with a beard pointing a black semi-automatic handgun out of the driver’s window at him with a strong stare.
(The victim) said he feared for his life at this time. (The victim) stated he slowed down to get out of the way of the firearm and ended up behind the suspect vehicle at this time. At this time both were committed to exit 83 (Ivanhoe Blvd). (The victim) took pictures of the Jeep as it turned right onto College Park Drive and began to drive reckless. (The victim) said the Jeep beared Florida tag EFRC72. After taking the picture, (The victim) said he called 911 and gave the vehicle information to dispatch the details of what occurred. He explained he could not be late for work and asked an officer to meet him at his work (name of business and address redacted).
Wheeler entered a written plea of not guilty to the charge on Aug. 3. He was released today on $2,500 bail.
Notably, the judge in Wheeler’s case did not require him to turn over his passport, meaning he will be able to travel to the U.K. for All In next weekend in London. He must report the charge against him when entering the U.K., but as he has not been convicted of any crime, there are no laws that would automatically bar him from making the trip.
Whether AEW might change the FTR vs. Young Bucks match scheduled for All In is a matter of speculation, but so far there has been no indication that anything has changed.
