Michael Bennett's Charges of Injuring an Elderly Woman with Paraplegia Dropped

Charges of injury to an elderly individual against defensive lineman Michael Bennett have been dismissed, per David Barron of the Houston Chronicle.

"We dismissed this case in the interest of justice. After looking at all the evidence, this was the right thing to do," Vivian King, chief of staff to DA Kim Ogg said, per Barron.

The incident in question took place in February 2018 at Super Bowl LII at NRG Stadium in Houston. Bennett allegedly pushed through security personnel after the game to celebrate with his brother, Martellus Bennett.
