Wheeler is accused of murdering 29-year-old Melissa Shipman at the Troy Villa Apartments on Henderson Street on October 27.
Wheeler waived extradition from California in early November and was expected back in Alabama within two weeks.
It was not immediately known if Wheeler had an attorney.
Wheeler was formally charged with murder. He was transferred to the Pike County Jail and his bond is $100,000.00 in this case.
