Joey Porter will not faces charges stemming from his arrest on March 27, the district attorney in Bakersfield, California said Wednesday. Porter was arrested for DUI and assaulting a police officer.
Porter was arrested early Saturday by the California Highway Patrol after he pulled up behind another motorist they had stopped. He was accused of slapping an officer’s hand and exiting his car in a “confrontational manner.”
It’s unclear why the district attorney’s office is not pursuing the charges. The California Highway Patriot officer that busted Porter has since come under investigation for brutality.
