DENVER -- A domestic violence case against Cleveland Browns running back Reuben Droughns will be dropped, his lawyer said Wednesday.
Droughns
Defense attorney Harvey Steinberg said prosecutors apparently concluded their case was too weak. A spokeswoman for the district attorney's office did not immediately return a call.
Droughns, who played for the Denver Broncos until a 2005 trade, had been arrested for investigation of third-degree assault and harassment after a May 12 incident at his suburban Denver home.
He was accused of throwing his wife, Kellie, to the ground and onto a bed before throwing her outside and locking the door.
He had been free on $2,500 bond.
"Obviously he's happy," Steinberg said. "He's always maintained he did nothing wrong and shouldn't have been charged or arrested."
