(AP) — Four misdemeanor charges have been dropped against former Washington Football Team running back Derrius Guice after he reached an agreement with his accuser.

Guice was charged last year in Loudoun County with three counts of assault and battery and one count of destruction of property.

The charges resulted in the release of the former LSU star, who has not yet been re-signed.

Authorities said the charges stemmed from accusations of domestic violence.

On Wednesday prosecutors said Guice availed himself of a provision in Virginia law that allows for dismissal of charges when a victim says she has reached an agreement with a defendant.

Details of the agreement were not disclosed.
