Harris County (Texas) prosecutors dismissed a third-degree felony charge against Patriots defensive end Michael Bennett, according to The Houston Chronicle.
"After looking at all the evidence and applying the law, a crime could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt," Vivian King, chief of staff for District Attorney Kim Ogg, said in a statement, per the Chronicle. "There was probable cause to warrant a charge initially, but after a careful review of all the pre-charge and post-charge evidence, we cannot prove this case beyond a reasonable doubt."
Bennett and his attorney, Rusty Hardin, were not available to the Chronicle to comment on the dropped charges.
