SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Prosecutors say domestic violence charges against former San Francisco 49ers cornerback Tramaine Brock were dropped because of insufficient evidence.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports (http://bit.ly/2uH3mez ) Wednesday that felony charges filed in June were dropped Tuesday because prosecutors say the victim did not want to cooperate.
Officials say the 28-year-old Brock punched and tried multiple times to strangle his girlfriend during an April 6 dispute over what to watch on television. Prosecutors say one of the strangling attempts occurred as she carried their 1-year-old child.
Police say the woman had visible injuries when officers arrived at Brock’s home in Santa Clara.
