Boston Red Sox pitcher Steven Wright had his domestic violence case retired by a Tennessee court earlier this week.
Per Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald, a Williamson County courthouse clerk said Wright's case was retired Tuesday ahead of his scheduled court appearance today.
“It’s over with,” the clerk said about Wright's case. “It’s done.”
As noted by Mastrodonato, retiring the case is the first step toward a dismissal that can happen in 12 months if Wright doesn't commit any other offenses.
Wright was arrested and charged with domestic assault following an argument with his wife at their home in Nashville on Dec.
