[UPDATE] Domestic Violence Charges Against Chuck Liddell Dropped

[UPDATE]

The Los Angeles District Attorney has decided not to pursue charges against Chuck Liddell following his domestic violence arrest last week.

TMZ Sports reported Monday that upon further investigations, authorities determined that there were no serious injuries suffered during last week’s incident between Liddell and wife, Heidi Northcott. They also discovered that the only remnant from the physical altercation was a red mark on Liddell’s face while Northcott’s person had no visible signs of struggle. This information corroborates Liddell’s version of events, where he claimed it was he, not Northcott, who was the victim of the attack.

Liddell filed for divorce days after his arrest after being married to Northcott for 10 years.
