Photographer drops assault charges against Chiefs WR Rashee Rice, claiming it was a misunderstanding
Well, it looks like Rashee Rice is out of at least one of the funny papers. On Tuesday, Tom Pelissero broke the news that the photographer claiming he was assaulted by Rashee Rice at a Dallas Nightclub decided to drop all the charges.
I am not sure if this is because the owner released the video showing that Rice did not assault him, but the man claimed it was a misunderstanding.
The report came out on May 9th that Rice punched a man in the face at Lil Kitchen in Dallas. Rice reportedly messaged the man on Instagram to come back to the club and then hit him. The story sounded ridiculous from the start, but I guess all charges were dropped.
Pelissero said this:
“There was also a recent accusation by a photographer about him assaulting the photographer on his way out of the club. I can actually tell you the photographer recently dropped those charges. He gave an affidavit to the Dallas police department saying it was a misunderstanding and wants the charges dropped.
“You still have things related to the auto incident that is going to have to play out here for Rashee Rice. Then on top of that, NFL discipline. But at least for now, back with the Chiefs.”
Well, at least he is out of one funny paper.
