All charges against Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Anthony Chickillo and his girlfriend Alysha Newman stemming from a domestic dispute in Fayette County, Pennsylvania earlier this month have been dropped, the Fayette County District Attorney's Office confirmed.
Chickillo, 26, was charged with simple assault, criminal mischief and harassment after police were called to Nemacolin Woodlands Resort early on Oct. 20. Newman, 25, was cited for harassment.
Chickillo appeared in court for a hearing on the matter Wednesday morning. Newman also had a scheduled hearing.
According to the criminal complaint, Chickillo's girlfriend, an Olympic pole vaulter for the Canadian National Team, told police the two got into a verbal argument over table games in the casino before returning to their room.
