Charge dropped but Broncos player might not be in clear

A disorderly conduct charge against Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall was dismissed Monday morning, a day after the Pro Bowl player was arrested for allegedly fighting with his fiance’ outside his downtown Atlanta condominium.

According to an Atlanta police incident report, officers were sent to the 200 block of Centennial Olympic Park Drive about 4:30 a.m. Sunday to quell a disturbance.

“Mr. Marshall stated that he and his fiance’, Ms. Michi Nogami-Campbell were having a discussion,” the report states. “Mr. Marshall advised that the discussion became intense and Ms. Campbell attempted to walk away.”

Marshall told police that he feared for Nogami-Campbell’s safety since she was from Orlando and wasn’t familiar with Atlanta, and that he was trying to convince his fiance’ to return to his residence.

According to the incident report, an Atlanta police officer saw the two walking on Centennial Park Drive when “they became physical and engaged in a fight, kicking and punching each other on the sidewalk.”

The officer “observed Mr. Marshall grab Ms. Nogami-Campbell by her shirt and pin her up against the wall, and at this time Ms. Nogami-Campbell then began kicking and hitting Mr. Marshall.”

Marshall and Nogami-Campbell were each charged with disorderly conduct and taken to the city jail. Charges were dropped against both Monday morning, according to the city solicitor’s office.

Before the charge was dropped, Marshall had been facing the possibility of a lengthy suspension from the NFL for violating the league’s personal conduct code.

Marshall was suspended for a game last year for repeated run-ins with the law. He was looking at perhaps a suspension of eight games or more.
