UFC star Conor McGregor will no longer have to fend off criminal charges in Florida. The 30-year-old grappler was previously charged with smashing a man’s cell phone and then stealing it while in Florida this past March. The charges (one count of felony robbery and one count of misdemeanor criminal mischief) were dropped Monday.
Assistant State Attorney Khalil Madani issued a statement claiming that there were issues with the defendant’s credibility, amongst other things.
Based on the witness’s credibility issues, his unwillingness to respond to a subpoena and the inability of the witnesses to testify as to his subjective mindset, the State of Florida cannot prove the charges against Mr. McGregor beyond a reasonable doubt.
Defendant Ahmed Abdirzak dropped a civil suit against McGregor last month. If found guilty, that suit would have cost Conor more than $15,000 in damages.
