New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte had the underage gambling and computer fraud charges against him dropped.

The attorney for Boutte told ESPN's Adam Schefter the state of Louisiana dropped the charges against the 22-year-old.

Boutte was arrested in January amid allegations he was involved in illegal sports betting while playing at LSU.

Per a statement from the Louisiana State Police on Jan. 25, investigators assigned to the Louisiana State Police Gaming Enforcement Division determined that Boutte placed more than 8,900 bets on sporting events from April 6, 2022, until May 7, 2023, when he was 20 years old.
