The gambling-related charges Patriots receiver Kayshon Boutte was facing have been dropped by the state of Louisiana, according to ESPN.
Boutte had been accused of placing underaged bets while playing college football at LSU. He was arrested in January and charged with underage gambling and computer fraud.
Between April 2022 and May 2023, Boutte, who was 20 at the time, placed many sports bets, according to investigators. Gamblers must be 21, so Boutte allegedly used an alias to make the bets.
Police said he made around 8,900 bets, including 17 wagers on NCAA football games, and six on LSU.
