On Wednesday, a third-degree domestic violence charge against former Alabama RB Trent Richardson were dismissed.

According to AL.com, the charge, which stemmed from an incident in February, was dismissed when Richardson’s ex-girlfriend, Sevina Fatu, failed to show up to the trial.

In March, Richardson told AL.com that he was innocent, saying he would never strike a female:

“I was trying to walk away from the situation,” Richardson said. “I would never hit a female. I look down on people that hit females. I grew up seeing stuff like that in my house. I’ve had family members go through that, and that’s something I would never do. There are certain things I can’t get into because it’s an ongoing case, but it’s very important to me that people know my side of the story and at least know that I would never hit a female no matter what the situation is.”

Eric Guster, who served as one of Richardson’s attorneys in this case, said the former NFL running back is happy with the outcome of the case:

“A couple of weeks into the case, we felt this would be the result based on our own investigation,” Guster said. “He’s moving on with his life.”
