Scott and Kelley Wolf drama takes disturbing twist with choking allegations months before divorce filing
Police were informed about a past alleged choking incident on the day Scott Wolf's wife was detained and taken to a hospital. The alleged altercation reportedly went down three months before the Party of Five actor filed for divorce on June 9 after 21 years of marriage, reports the New York Post. When officers arrived at Scott and Kelley's Utah residence on June 13 over an alleged 'verbal dispute,' an unnamed male detailed a 'past-occurred assault' that he said happened on March 6, according to a report taken by the Summit County Sheriff's Office. In the heavily redacted documents obtained by Us Weekly, the individual reported someone allegedly 'putting her hands around his neck' but noted they 'did not choke him hard enough to restrict blood or air flow.' 'After a few minutes of conversation, [the alleged victim] stated that [the individual's] attempt to choke him may have caused air and [blood] flow restriction for a small moment. [The alleged victim] stated [the individual] did this in their bedroom while he was laying in bed in the presence of [a third party]. [The alleged victim] stated he did not receive any injuries, marks or bruises from the incident,' the report detailing the alleged March incident read. The document also shed light on the June 13 alleged disturbance, in which an unnamed female claimed their brother-in-law was trespassing. The person claimed they wanted him removed; however, officers were later told that the brother-in-law had permission to be there by one of the homeowners. Kelley claimed she was 'taken against' her will by police on June 13 and later hospitalised following a 911 call in which the caller alleged someone was blocking their driveway and not allowing them to enter the home, per a report made public on Tuesday. The call lasted for around 15 minutes and was placed at 2.50am. Scott's ex shared her run-in with cops on her Instagram Live last week. In the video, two officers are seen with Kelley, with one of them informing her she wasn't going to jail and they were there to get her 'some help.' During the live, an officer was heard telling Kelley she 'made some comments to your dad and comments to people that are concerning,' and they 'want to make sure you're okay.' Law enforcement later confirmed that 'deputies responded to the Sundance Resort for a report of a female that needed some help.' 'Upon speaking with the female, our Deputies learned that she had made concerning comments to a family member, and she also made similar comments to our Deputies,' they told People in a statement. 'For that reason, our Deputies transported the female to a local hospital.' Kelley addressed the incident, calling it 'one of the darkest things I've ever experienced.' 'This is horrible. I have been taken against my will. Please check in on my kids,' she wrote on her Instagram Stories. 'Also … I am happy!! Happier than I have ever been. I have NO idea why or how this is happening in AMERICA.' Following her hospitalisation, an officer reportedly contacted the alleged choking victim to ask if they wanted to press charges, but they declined, reported Us Weekly. '[The alleged victim] stated that he … no longer wished to pursue charges because of some recent developments involving [redacted] that he believed would provide them some solutions. I provided [him] with my email address and told him to contact me if he changes his mind. No further action was taken,' the report read. The Post reached out to Scott's rep for comment. Scott filed for divorce on June 9, ending over two decades of marriage. 'After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,' the star said in a statement to The Post. 'Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter.' The Party of Five actor — who played Bailey Salinger on the hit series — married Kelley in 2004 after meeting her in 2002 following her stints on MTV's The Real World: New Orleans and The Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Scott and Kelley share three children.
