Zeke won't face charges for Vegas incident

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will not face charges from Las Vegas police for an alleged assault that occurred in May, according to Frank Salzano, one of Elliott's attorneys and agents.

On May 19, Las Vegas police briefly detained Elliott after an incident that left a security guard at a music festival on the ground. Elliott was released and apologized to Kyle Johnson. At the time, Johnson declined to press chargers but later filed a criminal complaint.

Two of Elliott's lawyers, Scott Rosenblum and Jason Lampert released a statement they believed Johnson was attempting to extort Elliott.
