A former Arizona Cardinals legend is in legal trouble. Adrian Wilson, in the team’s Ring of Honor for his play as a safety and a former team executive, find himself out of a job and in trouble with the law.
As reported by ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss, Wilson was arrested on June 1 on three counts of domestic violence.

Per Weinfuss, Wilson “was charged with intentional assault causing physical injury, damaging property between $250 and $2,000, and disorderly conduct-disruptive behavior or fighting, according to police records.”
He found separation papers from his wife when he returned home. She had learned he was having an affair. He burst into her bedroom late at night attempted to choke her, broke a lamp and a television and then took a gun out of its safe and threatened to leave and kill himself.
