Criminal charges against former Alabama linebacker Rolando McClain have been dropped.

In addition, ESPN is reporting McClain, now with the Oakland Raiders, won’t face a penalty or suspension from the NFL. According to the network, the league was waiting on the court case to complete. Since the charges have been dropped, there will be no disciplinary proceeding against McClain.

Click here to read The Decatur Daily story by Seth Burkett about McClain’s criminal case. Here’s a small taste:

A Morgan County judge dismissed charges against Oakland Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain after the alleged victim, a plaintiff in a corresponding civil suit, told the court earlier this month that he no longer wishes to pursue his criminal case against the NFL star.

It was unclear what agreement, if any, between McClain and his accuser led to the charges being dropped. Those connected with the case declined comment.
