Scottsdale, Arizona – Former Carolina Panthers vice president of player personnel Adrian Wilson has had two of the three domestic violence charges against him dropped. The charges were dismissed at the request of the Scottsdale city attorney.
In a statement on X, Wilson said the charges were dropped because the city attorney determined there was no physical altercation between him and his wife.
Wilson pleaded guilty to a single charge of domestic violence disorderly conduct. As part of a plea deal, he agreed to complete counseling sessions and the charge will be dismissed upon completion.
Wilson expressed deep regret for his actions and said he is committed to rebuilding his relationships and contributing to the community. He acknowledged the embarrassment and pain that the incident caused his family and others.
The incident occurred in June when Wilson returned to his Scottsdale home and found separation papers from his wife. Following a heated argument, Wilson allegedly damaged property and threatened to harm himself. While his wife accused him of choking her, the city attorney’s investigation did not find sufficient evidence to support that charge.
Wilson’s legal troubles have had significant consequences for his career and personal life. He was placed on administrative leave by the Panthers following his arrest. The resolution of the charges may allow him to move forward and rebuild his reputation.
