HOUSTON - Charges have been dropped against Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward after he was arrested and charged with assault in June.

What they're saying:

According to a statement from First Assistant District Attorney Mike Holley, "On September 18th, the Assault–Family Violence case against Mr. Jimmie Ward was presented to a Montgomery County Grand Jury. The grand jury carefully reviewed the evidence in this matter and failed to take any action against Mr. Ward. We respect their decision and the integrity of the process. As such, the case against Mr. Ward will be dismissed, and no further action will be taken."

The backstory:

Ward was arrested back in June in Montgomery County for assaulting his fiancée, who claimed she had been assaulted, strangled and threatened by Ward.
