It all started on October 6, 2023, when multiple charges were brought against him. The charges included allegations of domestic violence, damage to personal property, and child abuse.
However, in February 2024, the court dropped the charges, stating there wasn’t enough evidence to warrant a trial. Court documents pointed out the inconsistencies in the plaintiff’s narrative. It led the judge to determine that the state wouldn’t be able to make a strong case.
