Former 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster has domestic violence charges dropped

Former 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster on Thursday had domestic violence charges dismissed by a Hillsborough County judge in Florida, according to court documents. The Nov. 24 arrest the night before a game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at the team hotel led to Foster’s release from the team the following morning.

November’s incident marked the second time Foster had been accused of domestic violence by his on-and-off girlfriend, Elissa Ennis. Foster was accused of slapping a phone from her hand, pushing her in the chest and slapping her with an open hand on the left side of her face.
