A misdemeanor battery charge against Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Mackensie Alexander was dismissed Tuesday, Florida records show.
Alexander's charge from last August in relation to the disappearance of his father was dropped as part of pretrial diversion process, according to Collier County court records. Alexander entered deferred prosecution on Dec. 8, which led to the charges being dismissed. Part of the terms of that agreement included 24 hours of community service and participation in an anger management course.
Alexander was arrested in August after he left Bengals training camp following the disappearance of his father while picking berries with a family friend.
