While speaking with CBS reporter Jericka Duncan, Alleah Taylor explained what was happening at that moment and what exactly was going through her mind after her now ex-Boyfriend allegedly assaulted her, leaving her hospitalized and seriously injured.
“I had touched my face and I had looked down and there was blood on my hand,” Taylor said in the interview (which airs Wednesday) … “and I remember getting up and running to the bathroom.” In the short clip, she says, “Chad was standing by the bed, by the doorway and he was sipping his smoothie and he was like, ‘Wow you’re still alive?!'”
Taylor revealed that she also contacted his father but that didn’t seem to help,
“I had texted his dad too and told him that Chad was trying to kill me. Chad’s dad called him while he was eating and I was in the bathroom. And he answered and he didn’t have any worry at all. Chad was like, ‘I’m just eating dinner, nothing’s going on.’ And that terrified me.”
“I’m grateful he didn’t grab me in that moment. I was able to run to the bathroom. He went back to the living room to continue eating.”
Wheeler was eventually arrested and charged with 1st-degree domestic violence assault — over the incident. He pled not guilty to the charges at a hearing in a Washington courtroom on Monday.
