DENVER -- A disorderly conduct charge against Denver Broncos star receiver Brandon Marshall was dismissed Monday 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.The most recent arrest raises some serious questions about his future with the Broncos.Marshall has been arrested four times in the last three years. He was suspended for three games last year for seven police-related incidents with his one-time girlfriend. The punishment was reduced to a one-game suspension after Marshall promised the NFL that he would stay out of trouble.
