4:36 PM PT — Prosecutors have just formally hit Wheeler with three criminal charges — including assault in the first degree — over the alleged attack … TMZ Sports has learned.
Officials say they hit the 27-year-old with 1 count of first-degree domestic violence assault, 1 count of domestic violence unlawful imprisonment and 1 count of resisting arrest.
In court docs, prosecutors say, “The defendant, who is physically conditioned and trained to compete at the highest level of professional sports, strangled, suffocated and beat the victim into unconsciousness — twice — both times leaving her for dead as blood poured from her nose and mouth, and into her stomach and lungs.”
Prosecutors say Wheeler is due back in court next month…
