At his arraignment this morning, the prosecution noted that the incident was "believed to be a road rage incident" and that during that incident Wheeler allegedly "flashed a gun" at the other party.
I can't say I've never yelled at another asshole driver before, but I could never imagine pulling a gun on somebody for something so fucking stupid. What an idiot.
Well... Fuck. I guess it's still up in the air, and I'm not really up to speed on tourism regulations, but I imagine the UK might not be cool with allowing someone with a pending assualt charge entry into their country.
Not only is there not going to be an ftr bucks all in match now if he really pulled a gun there should be so significant jail time and I hate to say it but he should be fired from aew
