“AEW has been made aware of the charge, and we are closely monitoring the situation. He is fully cooperating with local authorities.”
Court documents show on July 27, Wheeler was seen weaving in and out of traffic and honking his horn while driving on I-4 in a Jeep Gladiator before cutting before cutting another driver off.
Documents show both drivers exited the interstate before Wheeler allegedly pointed a black semi-automatic handgun out of the drivers window at the same driver before staring him down, forcing the driver to call the police out of fear of his life.
