Justyn Ross has criminal charges dropped against him |
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver
Justyn Ross was facing misdemeanor domestic battery and misdemeanor criminal damage charges from back in late October.
Then the latter charge was elevated to a felony two weeks later. Now, Ross's legal situation has taken a turn, as the charges against him have been dismissed. In a court filing on Wednesday, Ross agreed to an order of diversion, leading to the removal of the two counts against him. A diversion program is a program that offers sentencing alternatives to time in jail or prison. Diversion programs are often reserved for first-time offenders or people who committed minor crimes. Previously, he had pleaded not guilty to charges of domestic battery and misdemeanor property damage.
