Charges against Ric Flair dismissed

Charlotte.com

Prosecutors on Monday dismissed misdemeanor charges against professional wrestler Ric Flair, who'd been accused of assaulting another driver on Interstate 485 last year.

Charles Keller, a Mecklenburg courts spokesman, said the charges were dismissed because witnesses did not show up for court on Monday.

In November, Flair was accused of getting out of his vehicle on I-485, grabbing another driver by his neck and then kicking the door of the man's Toyota 4Runner.

Flair denied the allegations.
