Charges Downgraded For Wife Of Dolphin’ Player Brent Grimes

MIAMI (AP) — Prosecutors are downgrading the charges against the wife of a Miami Dolphins player who was arrested outside the stadium after a game last month.

Miko Grimes was facing charges of disorderly conduct, battery on a police officer and resisting arrest with violence, but prosecutors said this week that, after reviewing the evidence, they decided to only charge her with resisting an officer without violence and disorderly conduct.

Grimes, who is the wife of cornerback Brent Grimes, was arrested last month after authorities say she disobeyed an officer’s command to stop and became belligerent and screamed profanities. She allegedly charged one officer while flailing her arms, and when an officer grabbed her in a bear hug and threw her on the ground, Grimes kicked her feet and tried to get up.
