Prosecutors: Dismissal deal done in Manziel’s domestic case
DALLAS — Johnny Manziel has a dismissal agreement with prosecutors that will require the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback to meet conditions for a year before being cleared of a domestic violence charge against him.
Dallas County District Attorney’s Office spokeswoman Brittany Dunn said Manziel wasn’t present Friday when the agreement was filed.
The former Cleveland player will be required to complete an anger management class, attend a domestic violence impact panel and participate in the NFL’s substance-abuse program or something similar.
Manziel, who turns 24 Tuesday, faced a misdemeanour charge that carried a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine after the former Cleveland player was accused of hitting and threatening former girlfriend Colleen Crowley during a night out in January.
