JOHNSON COUNTY, Kan. —
The Johnson County District Attorney's Office has confirmed that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross is no longer facing criminal charges after an application for diversion in his case was granted.
The 23-year-old was facing two charges, one for felony criminal damage and another for misdemeanor domestic battery.
On Monday, The Johnson County District Attorney's office confirmed to KMBC 9 that a judge had formally diverted the criminal case against Ross on Wednesday, Nov. 22.
A diversion interrupts a case following a deal between the defendant and the prosecutor where the prosecutor either dismisses the charges entirely or does not bring any charges at all.
The young Chiefs wideout is
currently on the NFL's Commissioners Exempt List, meaning he's not allowed to practice with the Chiefs or attend games.
It's currently unclear if or when Ross will be removed from the list or what his future with the team may look like. Before his legal trouble began, Ross was a
feel-good training camp story in the Chiefs receiving room.
