According to TMZ, which viewed police documents, the couple got into a dispute in the early morning hours of June 1 in their Scottsdale home when his wife found out he was allegedly having an affair and had filled out separation papers.
Wilson is said to have found the papers and then "lost it" on her while throwing and breaking objects.
He then allegedly choked her and called her a "liar," "b----" and a "w----."
Wilson's wife reportedly told officers Wilson then grabbed a handgun, threatening to kill himself. When she apparently reminded him their children were in the home, he allegedly responded, "F--- those kids."
"My mind just got super screwy at that point," cops say Wilson told them, "so I proceeded to leave the house." Wilson admitted to breaking objects and grabbing the gun but denied becoming physical with his wife.
