Chad Wheeler attack on his girlfriend Alleah Wheeler
Wheeler’s girlfriend, who is Black, was taken to a hospital and treated for a dislocated arm and facial injuries, per the Seattle Times. A shocking picture of the victim hit Twitter on Wednesday, showing her face and neck swollen and bloodied.
Wheeler, who is white, is 6-7, 310 pounds. Police listed his victim as 5-9, 145 pounds.
Prosecutors said in a filing that Wheeler allegedly attacked and strangled the victim in her bedroom on January 22. He allegedly beat her into unconsciousness twice and left her both times for dead.
According to prosecutors, at one point during the attack, Wheeler allegedly forced his fingers into her mouth and down her throat, and “crushed” his hand down over her nose and mouth while squeezing her throat with his other hand. The woman lost consciousness twice as Wheeler allegedly strangled her, prosecutors said. The victim later recalled trying to roll away, but Wheeler “violently” grabbed her left arm and ripped her body back toward him.
When she regained consciousness, for the second time, she saw Wheeler come back into the bedroom and told her “Oh, you’re still alive,” according to prosecutors. She ran into the bathroom and locked the door behind her before calling the police and telling family members to notify authorities.
A police report said officers responded to a domestic dispute at an apartment in the city of Kent after Wheeler’s girlfriend called 911 and told the operator she was being “killed.” When they arrived, she was screaming from inside, prompting officers to force entry into the home, the report said.
The woman alleged that Wheeler suffers from bi-polar disorder and was taking medication but had not been taking it recently, the report said, adding that she told police the couple previously had been dating for six months without any “notable issues.”
In a series of tweets Wednesday, Wheeler apologized, writing that “events happened over the weekend that transpired from a manic episode.”
“It is time for me to walk away from football and get the help I need to never again pose a threat to another,” he added. “I cannot express my sorrow or remorse enough. I am truly ashamed.”

She and her health should be the (utmost) priority.”
