Kentucky FOX affiliate channel 19 covered the arrest of BJ Whitmer on last night's news broadcast. You can see the story at this link.
The story noted:
The alleged victim, who spoke to FOX19 on the condition of anonymity, says she dated Whitmer and that he assaulted her after their breakup.
“I was literally fighting for my life,” she said. “I came into my house, and he was standing at the top of my steps waiting for me.”
The woman says Whitmer attacked her, strangled her and held her down in her home. The police incident report says “Mr. Whitmer grabbed her by the throat and threw her down on the couch, where he began strangling her.”
“And he squeezed tighter and said, ‘I’m going to f****** kill you. Do you hear me? I’m going to kill you!’” She recalled. “And once we got to the point of where we stopped moving, and then he continued choking me, I absolutely knew.”
The woman says she was able to escape.
“Instead of coughing, I lied and said, ‘I already called the cops,’ and the second I said that he let go,” she said.
The incident report notes officers could see visible red marks and bruising on her neck afterward.
The woman says she’s added security cameras to her home and that Boone County sheriff’s deputies have been randomly patrolling her home. She says she still doesn’t feel safe.
Whitmer was fired from AEW after being arrested.
He has not commented publicly since.
