ELIZABETH, N.J. (AP) — An attorney for a former NFL linebacker says a gun charge against his client has been dropped because the man who said he gave him a weapon admitted he lied.

NJ.com reported (http://bit.ly/2wVi04v ) this week the charges against Khaseem Greene were dismissed by a judge on July 17 after a request from prosecutors.

His attorney, Joshua McMahon, provided an audio recording to NJ.com that includes the other man telling detectives in Elizabeth that he lied about Greene's involvement.

A criminal complaint reported that Greene was seen on camera handing a gun to another man who fired into a crowd.
