According to ESPN, Scottsdale Police Department records show Wilson was charged with intentional assault causing physical injury, damaging property between $250 and $2,000, and disorderly conduct-disruptive behavior or fighting.

Records show Wilson posted bond on June 1, but ESPN said his date of arrest was not listed.
