The Facts: Anderson won’t face prosecution on a felony charge related to a 2017 arrest in Florida. Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports, via Anderson’s lawyer, that prosecutors have decided to drop a felony charge of resisting arrest against Anderson. Anderson was accused of pushing a police officer after being told to leave a concert.
Diehards Line:
Anderson found himself in more legal trouble in Florida this offseason. He was arrested in January on charges that included resisting arrest and threatening a public servant’s family, although the latter felony charge was dropped last month. There was briefly an arrest warrant issued for Anderson’s failure to appear in court earlier this month on a remaining charge from the incident, but it was later rescinded as Anderson’s absence was a result of a clerical error. ... Anderson is due back in court in July and could still face league discipline should the league find he violated the Personal Conduct Policy. We'll be watching for more.
