Comments Thread For: More Details on Deontay Wilder’s Arrest in Las Vegas

I think that once the charges are filed it is hard to get them dropped...the DA will pick them up regardless and proceed....so he might have to see this one out to the end.

I just read the strangulation part was a new 2009 law that brings this form of domestic battery up to a felony. Still, if he has no record and can get a deal with the da, he might get the charge reduced back to misdemeanor or something. Sounds like some bad injuries to the girl so it might not be offered...

The decision of whether to proceed is the decision of the DA. If she were to, say, decline to testify, the DA could decide he doesn't have a viable case and opt to not proceed. I'm just saying that such things can happen. (And also lets not pretend that the attorneys and DAs do not communicate).

However, the charge can't be dropped back down to a misdemeanor, as it is a felony by default. I do not no whether a lesser charge could be filed in its place or not. Since it was only one count, it may be a case that either it sticks or it doesn't.

It's quite soon to speculate. But, I think Deontay may be going to jail.

The woman got arrested too and in cases like these, I would think that the only way the woman could get arrested is if she provoked the man (Deontay Wilder). I am just assuming but I don't think Wilder will spend a long time in jail if any at all. Unless he has a record.

From what I understand, the charge carries a minimum 1 year sentence. Add to that the fact that he is a very large athlete and a professional fighter, and that he seemingly caused quite a bit of damage, I don't know that he will garner a lot of sympathy from the judge. Little is known at this point, but things don't look too good.

Damn, I didn't expect this out of Wilder. He seems like a cool dude. I wonder if this is some sort of setup, it could be that the women harmed herself and blamed Wilder. Maybe that's wishful thinking but stranger things have happened. I can't get over my distrust for anything with a gash between the legs after what happened to Tyson.

at last 1 of his fights didnt end in a k.o

Deontay Wilder has a TINY head... Looks unusual. I guess it doesn't have to be very big to hold that Pea Brain. Big guy tiny head= ******. Family guy from Alabama just trying to make money to raise his daughter my ass... I'm sick of being fed these stories while surely everyone who knows him already knows the truth ... Now we're all in on the secret. The guys a low life.

he wont. i guarantee it. and as long as he isnt a former felon, which he isnt, he will be fine. floyd went to jail for something similar. but then again, floyds circumstances were vastly different. hes not gonna go to jail for this, esp considering both of them were arrested? yea. highly unlikely.

You're all wet. He WILL see jail time. Vegas and NYC don't fool around with trailer trash guys beating women. Floydie's case was only minimized because he's Floydie. And BTW, even you are doubting your story. First it's 'I guarantee it', then it's 'highly unlikely'.

First, Tyson WAS convicted of **** through solid testimony and evidence. So don't blame the accuser, blame the rapist. You don't distrust women because they stand up for themselves, man. You probably sided with Floydie after he beat the mother of his kids - in front of his kids!

You need to get a life. Grow the F up.

BoxingScene.com has confirmed that heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder was arrested Saturday morning in Las Vegas and is facing a felony count of domestic violence-strangulation.
