WACO, Texas (KWTX) - The McLennan County District Attorney’s Office has dismissed domestic violence charges against a former Waco police officer who was arrested in April on allegations he assaulted his wife.

Waco police officials fired DeChriston Devante McKinney, 32, in May, a month after his arrest on aggravated assault-family violence charges and following an internal police investigation.

Police alleged at the time that McKinney, who was indicted in June, threatened to shoot his wife and dragged her across their home in McGregor during an argument.

In the motion to dismiss the case, the DA’s office wrote that the evidence is insufficient to support the offense charged and that McKinney’s wife, referred to as the “complaining witness,” is “adamant” about dismissing the case.
