Wilson was charged with first-degree domestic violence, and online court records show that Wilson was released on $ 10,000 bail.
According to the warrants, Wilson allegedly hit the victim “on the back and face several times”. He also “poured water” and “placed a pillow” over the victim’s mouth and nose, which “prevented the flow of air”.
Published warrants say that Wilson threw the victim’s cell phone in the yard, and the incident was visible to children.
In a statement to the Post and Courier Myrtle Beach, Wilson said that “the allegations against him are completely false, made by his wife and in response to a request from him to separate.”
Wilson was accepted to the South Carolina Bar Association in 2007 and later admitted to the United States Supreme Court in 2018.
A survey with the South Carolina Bar Association showed that he is currently “in good standing”.
