She continued and said she reached out to his dad, stating he was trying to kill her.
“I’m grateful he didn’t grab me in that moment. I was able to run to the bathroom. He went back into the living room to continue eating. I had texted his dad too, and told him that Chad was trying to kill me. And showed him a picture. Chad’s dad called him while he was eating. And while I was in the bathroom. And he answered. And he didn’t have any worry at all, and Chad was, like, ‘I’m just eating dinner. Nothing’s going on.’ And that terrified me.”
He was later arrested and charged with first-degree domestic violence assault, domestic violence unlawful imprisonment, and resisting arrest.
He released a statement on Twitter and said he was leaving the league.
Seattle Seahawks also released a statement on the incident.
As previously reported, Chad Wheeler allegedly attacked Alleah Taylor after she refused to bow to him. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
