Miami Police Charges Against Tomic Dropped: Media

MELBOURNE — Miami police have dropped charges of trespassing and resisting arrest against tennis player Bernard Tomic, Australian media reported on Thursday.

The 22-year-old was arrested and charged in July after police were called to his Miami hotel room where he was hosting a party.

Tomic's lawyer told Australian Associated Press that prosecutors had dropped the case over inconsistencies in reports lodged by hotel security and police.

"We knew all along the case wouldn't hold up in court and the charges would be dropped," the news agency quoted Tomic's lawyer, Chad Piotrowski, as saying.

"In the end, I was able to establish that Bernard did not break any laws and he didn't do anything to deserve being arrested.
