As if Ole Miss didn’t have enough off-field issues with which to deal, now this situation pops up.
According to online jail records first obtained by HottyToddy.com, Charles Wiley was arrested Monday evening and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence. A female was arrested on the same charge as well.
No details of what led to the arrests have been divulged. The defensive lineman posted bond and was released from the Lafayette County Jail late this morning. According to the Jackson Clarion-Ledger, Wiley is scheduled to appear in court next month.
In a statement sent to the media, head coach Hugh Freeze indicated that Wiley “is being withheld from all team activities” as the program gathers more information.
“We are aware of the situation and recognize the proper authorities responsible for the matter,” the statement began. “Charles is being withheld from all team activities while the process moves forward. We take incidents like this very seriously and will make decisions once the course of actions is complete.”
A four-star member of Ole Miss’ 2016 recruiting class, Wiley was rated as the No. 20 weakside defensive end in the country. He was an early enrollee who participated in spring practice earlier this year, and had been expected to be a part of the line rotation this season.
