Domestic violence charges against Philadelphia Phillies outfielder Odubel Herrera have been dropped following a court hearing Wednesday.
A state prosecutor told reporters that Herrera's girlfriend did not want to proceed with the case, leading to the decision to dismiss.
Herrera had been accused of domestic assault against his girlfriend on May 27 at the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Officers had found the 20-year-old woman with "visible signs of injury to her arms and neck that was sustained after being assaulted by her boyfriend."
The 27-year-old Herrera had been facing charges of simple assault and knowingly causing bodily injury.
