Chad Wheeler Arrested Again After Taking Off His Ankle Monitor, Roaming Streets Naked

Former Seahawks offensive lineman Chad Wheeler is once again in the news for all the wrong reasons.

Earlier in the year, Wheeler was the headline of many news articles after his ex-girlfriend courageously revealed her deeply troubling story about being attacked by Wheeler.

Shortly after, videos were released of cops arresting Chad Wheeler in his home.

Now, Chad Wheeler is back in the news.

According to reports, Wheeler suffered a mental health moment and took off his court-ordered ankle monitor. He then proceeded to roam the streets without his clothes on.

Per ESPN:

“Former NFL offensive lineman Chad Wheeler — who has been on house arrest as he awaits trial in his ongoing felony domestic violence case — recently violated a court order by removing his electronic home monitoring device, a spokesperson with the King County Prosecutor’s Office told ESPN on Tuesday.

According to court documents obtained by ESPN, Wheeler’s defense attorney said his client was experiencing a “mental health crisis” on the evening of July 31 when he took off all his clothes, removed the electronic home monitoring (EHM) device from his ankle and began wandering the streets in the Seattle suburb of Redmond. A friend located Wheeler, called for help and took a photograph of him as he was being tended to by first responders while naked.

Wheeler was taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation and released the next morning, according to the documents.”

An emergency hearing was held last week, where a judge denied a request to have Chad Wheeler’s bail in order to keep him in custody.

Wheeler has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and the recent situation was deemed a “manic episode” by medical professionals.

It’s clear that Chad Wheeler has some deep demons, and we’ll await any more details on his troubling story.
