Prosecutors have asked to drop the criminal charges against Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, a spokesman for the district attorney’s office confirmed Tuesday.
Jerry Jeudy, 23, was arrested May 12 on a misdemeanor second-degree criminal tampering charge that included a domestic violence sentence enhancer after a domestic dispute with the mother of his 1-month-old child.
Jeudy had been scheduled to appear in court Tuesday but prosecutors also asked to cancel that hearing, said Eric Ross, spokesman for the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.
Court records about the dismissal were not immediately available Tuesday and it was not immediately clear why prosecutors sought to drop the case.
The victim had previously said in court she never felt threatened during the domestic dispute and asked that the case be dismissed.
Authorities were called to the domestic dispute after the woman reported she wanted to leave a residence, but Jeudy allegedly had withheld her wallet, a child car seat and the child’s paperwork. All of it was locked in a vehicle.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
