The Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office dropped misdemeanor battery charges against former NBA All-Star Amar’e Stoudemire on Tuesday, according to CBS News. Stoudemire had been arrested and charged in December after being accused of striking one of his daughters.
The case was dropped as a result of the “failure of the victim to cooperate in the prosecution of the criminal case,” per the report.
