Misdemeanor charges against Charles Oakley officially dismissed

The five misdemeanor charges that Charles Oakley was facing as a result of his scuffle with Madison Square Garden security guards a year ago were officially dismissed in a Manhattan court on Friday as part of an agreement the former Knick reached in August.

That deal — technically called an adjournment in contemplation of a dismissal — called for all the misdemeanor charges of assault, harassment and trespassing to be dropped as long as Oakley remained out of trouble for six months.

The agreement, however, still stipulates that Oakley has to stay away from Madison Square Garden for another six months.
