Criminal Charges Dropped Against New Orleans Saints OLB Junior Galette [Video]

New Orleans Saints outside linebacker Junior Galette was arrested last month for domestic violence and simple battery. Now, the charges against Galette have been dropped.

Galette, age 26, and his cousin Terrance Banks were arrested on January 5th on simple battery domestic violence charges because police in Kenner, LA responded to Galette's home to find a 22-year-old victim bleeding from her ear, with scratches on her face claiming she had been beaten.

Galette's attorney, Ralph Whalen, issued this statement shortly after the charges were dropped:

I was just informed by Kenner Assistant City Attorney Howat "Howie" Peters that the misdemeanor domestic violence charge against Junior Galette has been dismissed. This happened after the four witnesses in the case were interviewed and after further investigation. The case will not be prosecuted. This confirms what we have said from the beginning about Juniors Galette's actions and character.
