A Hamilton County judge has dismissed misdemeanor charges against Bengals running back Joe Mixon after the prosecutor’s office requested to so on Friday.
An arrest warrant for Mixon was issued on Thursday on a charge of aggravated menacing stemming from an incident officials say occurred in late January. However, Judge Curt Kissinger dismissed the case against Mixon at the behest of the prosecutor’s office, which said that it would need an “additional investigation before we would move forward in this case,” according to WCPO Cincinnati’s Taylor Nimmo.
The prosecutor’s office said that the Cincinnati Police Department was able to contact the woman who reported the incident, and that she understood the need to dismiss the case at this time. If she wants to go forward with a case in the future, she will have the option to re-file charges against Mixon, according to the prosecutor and the judge.
