KANSAS CITY, Mo. - An assault case against Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson has been dismissed, a court official said Wednesday.

Municipal court administrator Bernard Schneider said the case was thrown out Tuesday, but he said he was unable to provide further information. A message left with Johnson's attorney was not immediately returned.

The charge stemmed from an alleged altercation Sept. 10 in which an Overland Park, Kan., woman claimed Johnson shoved her at a Kansas City bar. The woman said she had been involved with the athlete for more than two years.

The case was being watched by prosecutors in Johnson County, Kan., who could reinstate a 2003 charge accusing Johnson of slapping a woman in his Leawood home and threatening her with a gun.

Johnson agreed to enter a domestic-violence diversion program to avoid prosecution. As part of the deal, he was ordered to stay out of legal trouble for two years.

This ought to be interesting. If I remember correctly, this was not his first domestic type charge.
