Cash Wheeler Arrested, Charges Dismissed in Florida

Cash Wheeler, a member of the wrestling tag team FTR, opened up about his arrest in August 2023 for aggravated assault with a firearm, stemming from a road rage incident where he allegedly flashed a gun. During an interview with Renee Paquette, he described the legal ordeal as a 'very rough patch' that lasted until the charges were dropped in May 2024. Wheeler emphasized his refusal to take a plea deal, asserting his innocence and fearing potential prison time of up to five years if found guilty. Throughout this period, he continued to perform for AEW, despite considering retirement due to the stress related to the charges. His partner, Dax Harwood, confirmed Wheeler's struggles and the pressure he felt, as well as his determination to not let the situation affect their partnership. Wheeler ultimately felt vindicated when the case was dismissed, expressing relief that it was resolved as it should have been from the start.
