Prosecutors said they are unable to prove their case. Bristol County District Attorney Thomas M. Quinn said Barmore's accuser did not want to travel out of state for the case.
Christian Barmore was accused of taking his girlfriend's phone and throwing her to the floor during a dispute at his Mansfield, Massachusetts home last August. Barmore's attorney David Meier has maintained his client's innocence. The evidence will demonstrate that no criminal conduct took place.
The specific evidence prosecutors had that led them to drop charges has not been disclosed. Meanwhile, another legal matter involves former Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Diggs is accused of physically assaulting his personal chef in a financial dispute.
The woman told authorities Diggs 'smacked her across the face' and then 'tried to choke her using the crook of his elbow around her neck,' leaving her winded. Stefon Diggs, the star wide receiver recently released by the Patriots, pleaded not guilty to felony strangulation and other criminal charges in Massachusetts last month. The 32-year-old free agent has denied the allegations through his attorney.
The current status and next court dates for Stefon Diggs' felony strangulation case are not known. New England appeared to replace Diggs on Tuesday by adding Green Bay Packers veteran receiver, Romeo Doubs. 2 yards per catch while scoring six touchdowns in 2025.
