NFL: Charge dropped but Broncos' Marshall might not be in clear

Associated Press

A disorderly conduct charge against Denver Broncos star receiver Brandon Marshall was dismissed today in an Atlanta court.

The dismissal was confirmed by Marshall's lawyer, Harvey Steinberg. The Pro Bowl receiver, however, still faces possible suspension for repeated violations of the NFL's personal conduct code. The league doesn't require convictions for the commissioner to suspend a player.

"We will (still) look into it," league spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press.

Marshall was arrested and jailed in Atlanta on Sunday morning following a fight with his fiance, his fourth arrest in the last three years.
