Dallas Cowboys running back Joseph Randle won't be charged with a felony stemming from allegations of a domestic dispute on Feb. 3 with his mother, Dalia Jacobs, who claimed Randle brandished a gun and smashed a car window.
The Sedgwick County District Attorney’s office declined the option to file felony charges, according to CBS DFW:
A statement from the District Attorney’s office says the evidence was not sufficient to move forward with felony charges, though misdemeanor charges are still possible. The three-month investigation conducted by the Wichita Police Department included witness interviews and the analyzing of all available evidence.
“The sufficiency of proof required in a criminal case is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. We find the nature of the available evidence in this instance is insufficient to meet that burden as to felony charges.”
Jacobs reportedly called police that night and described the incident in question, though she later called the police back and said no assistance was necessary and that the parties involved had worked the situation out. Police did end up arresting Randle after arriving to the scene and finding marijuana in his hotel room, though those charges were dropped.
Randle, 23, was a backup to DeMarco Murray this past season for the Cowboys. He rushed for 343 yards and three touchdowns. While Randle isn't out of the woods yet, as he potentially faces misdemeanor charges, having the felony charges dropped will surely be a relief. It remains to be seen what, if any, punishments will be levied by the NFL.
