We learned back in July that Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott would not be suspended for an altercation between him and a security guard in Las Vegas in May. However, that security guard did elect to file charges against Elliott, so the running back was not completely out of the woods.
Until now. A source tells Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that Elliott will not be charged in connection with the alleged assault. Hill reports that members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department met with prosecutors at the end of July, and prosecutors determined they could not move forward with the case.
Hill adds that Elliott, who has been working out in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, as he continues to hold out for a new contract, has returned to Dallas for a “brief respite.” However, there has been no progress on a new deal between Zeke and the Cowboys, and the star RB is expected to return to Cabo shortly.
In the meantime, rookie fourth-rounder Tony Pollard continues to impress in preseason action, which may or may not give Dallas a little more leverage in their negotiations with Elliott.
Man. Can you guys believe it? Let’s dish…
And here I thought this was a daily update, like Zeke not arrested today, rejoice! Maybe they can hang a sign at JerryWorld like the one at Sam’s Club for workers injuries, “we are now arrest free for — days!”
Oustanding!
Now he can get back to finding his gold
But honestly, why is Zeke even at the EDC in Vegas.. nothing but trouble there.. These professional athletes that can’t stay out of trouble and throw money away, just astonish me..
