Assault charges dropped against Beason

Less than two weeks after Panthers linebacker Jon Beason was arrested for assault, the charges have been dismissed.

Mecklenburg Assistant District Attorney Bruce Lillie said Friday there was not evidence to prosecute Beason. 

A man is suing Beason in a civil case, alleging that Beason punched him

“We are obviously pleased and it validates what Jon told us from the beginning,” Panthers G.M. Marty Hurney said Friday.

Beason’s lawyer denies that his client struck anyone, while the civil case alleges Beason punched Gregory C. Frye twice.  The Charlotte Observer details an interesting history of criminal charges and civil complaints in Frye’s past.

    For all those that called him a thug, and didn’t listen when I said to check out the accuser’s criminal record, it just shows you are the idiots.

    Talked to someone who knows this dude. Says he mouths off when he drinks and it happens all the time. Suppose to be training for MMA, looks like he’s 0-1 already.
