A felony charge against Tennessee Titans wide receiver Justin Hunter has been reduced to a misdemeanor count of assault and battery.
Hunter had been facing a felony charge of malicious wounding that stemmed from a fight at the Sandbar Raw Bar in Virginia Beach during the Fourth of July weekend, the police said.
The office of the commonwealth’s attorney said that “based upon subsequent interviews with witnesses, it is the commonwealth’s position that the evidence better supports the charge of assault and battery.”
