Battery charge against Florida's Chris Thompson dropped for insufficient evidence

The charge was dismissed Monday, court records show.

The battery charged filed against Florida wide receiver Chris Thompson was dropped Monday for insufficient evidence, per Alachua County court records.

The disposition field of the online record of Thompson's charge summary reads "NO INFO INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE THIS DEFENDANT," the common means of recording a charge being dismissed for lack of evidence. The judgment was rendered on April 13.

Thompson was charged with and arrested for misdemeanor simple battery against a former girlfriend on April 1, stemming from an incident in which Thompson allegedly scratched the woman's neck and arms while trying to retrieve his phone.
