The victim reportedly told police Wilke and her friends approached her friends at Brick Street Bar, attempting to fight with the males. The victim and her friends reportedly left the bar, but two of the males attacked the group.

When Wilke was being booked at Oxford Police Department, officers reportedly found a driver's license belonging to her sister in her possession. Wilke was cited for assault and possession of a fake ID.
