Wilson, 28 is faced with assault with bodily injury of a family member according to Frisco Police, SGT. Stephen Byrom. 

Allegations were denied by Toby Shook, Wilson’s attorney. 

Shook stated, “ Damien Wilson did not commit any type of assault.” “ We look forward to all of the facts coming out so his name can be cleared” 

Ryan Sokolosky, Wilson’s ex-girlfriend, told the Dallas Morning News that after she ended the relationship with Damien Wilson, “ he showed up drunk at her apartment and threatened to kill her with a tire iron. She said he also destroyed her laptop by wrapping it in a blanket and slamming it to the ground, telling her it was her cat. Wilson also tried running her over before driving off.” 

Sokolosky, obtained a protective order against Wilson, and stated “ He thinks all of it’s a joke because he’s rich and thinks he’s going to get out of everything” she said to the newspaper. 

This is not the first time Wilson is accused of threatening someone. In 2017, he was accused of brandishing a rifle and threatening tailgaters outside of a soccer venue. He was arrested on two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon but was not indicted by a grand jury.
