NEW ORLEANS -- Former New Orleans Saints receiver Michael Thomas will enter a pretrial diversion program instead of facing trial on two misdemeanor charges, according to the Kenner City attorney's office.
Thomas' attorney, Daniel "Becket" Becnel, said the charges of simple battery and criminal mischief had been dismissed following a hearing Wednesday, but a spokesperson for the city attorney's office said that was not the case. Instead, Thomas must satisfy the requirements of the six-month pretrial diversion program in order for the case to be closed.
