Rolando McClain Avoids Charges, No Word on Suspension
Dallas Cowboys linebacker Rolando McClain had charges of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct dismissed by Alabama prosecutors on Monday May 4th.
McClain was arrested in a park in his hometown while trying to clear a crowd. The original charges stemmed from him allegedly cursing at officers and pulling away when those same officers attempted to put him under arrest.
McClain was convicted of similar charges in a city court in 2014, and has appealed at the state level for a retrial. No word on why the more recent charges were dismissed, or what sort of impact this will have on McClain’s playing availability for the 2015 season. McClain was a candidate for Comeback Player of the Year in 2014.
