Charges against Texans wide receiver Kenny Stills and dozens of other protesters were dropped Friday after they were arrested at a protest in Louisville earlier this week.
Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell announced in a statement that he is dropping the felony charge of "intimidating a participant in the legal process" against the 87 protestors arrested. He said Louisville police had "probable cause" for the charge, but "in the interest of justice and the promotion of the free exchange of ideas, we will dismiss that charge" for each of the protesters.
Stills was among the group demanding justice for Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old Black woman who was fatally shot by Louisville Metro Police Department officers on March 13 while she was asleep in her home.
