GRIM Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Attorney: Deontay Wilder thought he was being robbed Heavyweight boxer Deontay Wilder thought that the person he is accused of assaulting at a Las Vegas hotel was stealing from him, his attorney Paul Patterson said Wednesday. Wilder, 27, was charged with domestic violence/strangulation at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino early Saturday morning. "Deontay instinctively acted under the false impression that someone was stealing from him," Patterson said today. "That wasn't the case. He regrets his actions. He is extremely regretful because this is not consistent with his reputation. "He and the victim have spoken about this and the victim has accepted his apology. We hope this matter will be brought to a resolution soon." Wilder is best known for winning the bronze medal in the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He subsequently took the nickname "Bronze Bomber." Wilder attended the Floyd Mayweather vs. Robert Guerrero fight Saturday night in Las Vegas. He has since returned to Tuscaloosa, Patterson said. A hearing in the case is scheduled for July 3.

Mofo2 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Domestic violence is generally anyone you are living with as far as I'm aware wether it be wife or girlfriend, this sounds like it is worthy of a serious assault charge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
