Charger's Charges Dropped

I’m glad San Diego Chargers’ Antonio Cromartie won’t be facing any charges for an alleged bar fight, but I can not help but notice there are a few details of the story that don’t seem to be adding up.

Even though there are assorted versions of what happened on the night in question, they all start in the same place: after their win over the Denver Broncos, Cromartie and a few of the Charger players decided to celebrate by popping a few bottles of champagne at a Pacific Beach bar. So the story goes, at some point during the evening, one of those rogue bottles must have gotten loose.

While one eye witness claims that a Chargers player (fitting Cro’s description) came up and clubbed his friend in the head tarzan-style, other reports claim that the bottle was tomahawked at the patron in a more Pocahontas-gone-apeshit fashion. Whatever pseudo-superhero move was used, the San Diego District Attorney has determined that it did not come from Cromartie, and has dropped all charges.

Either Cromartie had already filled his quota for one day after beating the Broncos, or he is just lucky and is getting off the hook. Whatever the case, I still can’t help but think it’s a littttle ironic his Twitter name happens to be crimetime31… after facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon, maybe he should rethink that? …
