Prosecutors move to dismiss Picabo Street domestic violence charges

Prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss domestic violence charges against Olympic champion Alpine skier Picabo Street on Thursday, according to NBC affiliate KSL in Utah.

“Since filing charges, the state has become aware of additional witness statements,” the motion read. “Based on those statements, the state believes that this case would be more appropriately handled in a civil or administrative forum by Utah’s Adult and Aging Services Division.”

Street faced three counts of misdemeanor domestic violence in the presence of a child and one count of misdemeanor assault from an incident with her father at her home near Park City on Dec.
