ORLANDO, Fla. – Professional wrestler Daniel Wheeler – better known as Cash Wheeler – was arrested in Orlando on Friday on an active warrant, officials confirmed.
An arrest warrant was issued for the 36-year-old All Elite Wrestling star for an incident on July 27, according to court records. He was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm, a third-degree felony.
Specific details about the alleged incident were not available in the court records. However, at his Friday court appearance, state prosecutors said the incident appeared to be connected to a road-rage incident where Wheeler “allegedly flashed a handgun at the alleged victim.”
He posted a $2,500 bond and was released from jail. He did not respond to reporters questions outside the jail and got in his vehicle and drove off.
The judge ruled that Wheel was not allowed to contact any witnessed or the victim, and had to turn over any guns he owned to the sheriff’s office.
Wheeler, one-half of AEW Tag Team Champions FTR with Dax Harwood, is scheduled to wrestle at AEW’s All In London event at Wembley Stadium on August 27.
FOX 35 asked Wheeler he still planned to attend that event, but he did not respond.
