Chris Claybrooks‘ domestic assault case has been dropped … TMZ Sports has learned.
According to court records, prosecutors dismissed the two misdemeanor charges against the Jacksonville Jaguars defensive back on Monday morning.
It’s unclear why — we’ve reached out to the Davidson County District Attorney’s office and Claybrooks’ lawyer for comment … but so far, no word back yet.
NFL’s Chris Claybrooks Arrested After Allegedly Destroying Ex’s Phone At Theater
Claybrooks was initially hit with one count of domestic assault with bodily injury and one count of vandalism under $1,000 after authorities claimed he got into a dispute with his ex-girlfriend in a movie theater parking lot in Nashville on April 14.
During the alleged incident, prosecutors said Claybrooks grabbed his ex’s phone from her hand and destroyed it. Authorities added in court documents that the altercation resulted in bruises and abrasions on the woman’s hand.
At the time, the Jaguars said in a statement they were aware of the allegations and were in “the process of gathering information.”
Claybrooks has appeared in 46 games for Jacksonville since he was picked by the team in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft. He’s totaled 81 tackles and five pass deflections in his career … while also working as the Jags’ kick returner.
