by from on (#14X0A)
The Wake County (N.C.) District Attorney's Office dismissed assault charges against former NHL defenseman and television analyst Aaron Ward on Friday, according to TSN.
Ward was charged with two misdemeanors - assault on a female and interfering with emergency communications - after an alleged domestic incident in October.
The DA reviewed the case and determined "that further prosecution is not warranted."
I am deeply humbled by my experience the last few months. I want to thank everyone who has supported and prayed for my family.
