Last week we reported that Pittsburg Steelers LB Anthony Chickillo was arrested and charged with simple assault, criminal mischief, and harassment.

Well, it’s been a week, and now we are hearing that Anthony Chickillo is off the hook after he allegedly roughed up his track star girlfriend. Read on for more on Steelers LB Anthony Chickillo…

CelebNSports247.com reports that Chickillo’s girlfriend, Canadian track star Alysha Newman, refused to testify against the NFL player, so the charges were dropped.

According to reports, Canadian track star Alysha Newman and Steelers LB Anthony Chickillo got into a heated argument at a fancy Pennsylvania resort’s casino later turned violent in their hotel room.

Newman claimed Chickillo grabbed her by both arms, forced her against the wall and door and eventually threw her to the ground while intending to cause her injury.

TMZ Sports reports:

In court records obtained by TMZ Sports, cops say they noticed Newman “had visible redness to both her right and left bicep areas, with bruising beginning to form.”

Chickillo was eventually taken into custody and hit with three charges — simple assault, criminal mischief and harassment.

After Chickillo’s hearing in court, Wednesday prosecutors announced they dropped the charges.

Anthony returned to work afterward showing up to the Steelers’ facility, but it’s unclear when he’ll be able to play again as he’s still on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.

Of course, even with the charges dropped, the NFL can still suspend the linebacker if it finds in its own independent investigation that he did violate its personal conduct policy.

Chickillo has been a regular on the Steelers’ roster over the past five years … playing in 57 games and recording 7.5 sacks.
