A misdemeanor failure to obey charge against Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith has been dismissed.
Smith was arrested last July 12 for reasonable and lawful order of a law enforcement officer. Initially, a court date was slated for Feb. 17 before prosecutors decided not to move forward.
"Jimmy is thrilled to put this case behind him," Smith's attorney Warren Alperstein told The Baltimore Sun. "He remains fully focused on his recovery from his injury and looks forward to getting ready for next season."
Smith was alleged to have interfered with officers and emergency medical personnel that arrived at a Towson, Md. restaurant to tend to an intoxicated woman who is a friend of Smith’s. According to police, Smith declined to move out of the way because he said he was helping her.
Smith missed the latter half of the NFL season with a Lisfranc sprain. His season ended with 28 tackles and one interception.
