Misdemeanor battery charges filed against Warren Sapp during Super Bowl week have been dropped, according to ESPN’s Kelly Naqi.
Sapp was arrested the day before Super Bowl XLIV for allegedly choking a woman in a hotel room. He was pulled off NFL Network’s coverage of the game and was later removed from HBO’s “Inside the NFL” since.
“From the beginning, Mr. Sapp was always confident that the system would work and he would be cleared of any wrongdoing. Warren looks forward to putting this matter behind him,” Sapp’s attorney Christopher Lyons said in a statement.
It’s unclear how the matter will affect Sapp’s broadcast career moving forward.
UPDATE: NFL Network will meet with Sapp to review his status.
