Felony charge against Jets' Anderson for resisting arrest dropped

Prosecutors have dropped a charge of resisting arrest with violence against New York Jets wide receiver Robby Anderson stemming from a May 2017 incident, Anderson's attorney, Ed O'Donnell, told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo.

Anderson was arrested at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami and was charged with resisting arrest with violence and obstruction of a police officer, a third-degree felony in Florida.

The Jets receiver reportedly refused to leave the festival grounds when asked to do so by security personnel, who in turn called the police.

A separate felony charge laid against Anderson after his January 2018 arrest for reckless driving was downgraded to a misdemeanor in April, partly due to varying accounts of how fast Anderson's vehicle was going.
