NFL Star's Pre-Trial Intervention After Domestic Dispute

0:00It's April 23rd. This is NFL News today, AI-powered stories from around the league. I'm Cory with the story. Atlanta Falcons' Edge R Usher, James Pierce, Jr. just entered a pre-trial intervention program. If he finishes it successfully, all charges from his February 7th arrest will get dismissed. That bus came from a domestic dispute with his ex-girlfriend WNBA star, Rico Jackson. Charges included aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, fleeing and alluding police, plus resisting an officer. Prosecutors dropped the battery on a cop charge and downgraded stalking to a misdemeanor. Jackson filed for a protective order, saying she feared for her safety after their break-up over cheating suspicions and a prior fight. She described Pierce tailing her aggressively toward a police station. Pierce's legal team insists he is innocent, calling out how allegations can twist the full story. Meanwhile, the NFL is watching every move and could hit him with a suspension down the line.
