Albert Haynesworth’s Road Rage Assault Case Dismissed |
Read More: Albert Haynesworth (DT – WAS), Washington Redskins That road rage case attached to Albert Haynesworth in February, which is of course separate from the other ongoing case against the Washington Redskins DT, has been dismissed. From the sounds of it, Haynesworth paid his accuser, leading to the end of the case. Terms haven’t been disclosed, but that appears to be the reason for this development. Haynesworth was accused of exiting his vehicle and striking a man during a traffic dispute. His attorney says the tackle’s biggest mistake was getting out of his car in the first place and acknowledges the alleged victim received a bloody nose in the following encounter, though he says the two parties disagree on exactly how said nose reached such a state. This will give Haynesworth more time to focus on making it through his sexual abuse trial, which is set for this summer.

Redskins’ Haynesworth Has Case Dismissed |
By SportsDirect A road-rage assault charge against Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was dimissed Tuesday by a northern Virginia judge after Haynesworth reached a settlement with the alleged victim. Virginia law states that a judge can dismiss a misdemeanor assault charge under the “accord and satisfaction” provision, when a victim says they have been made whole (usually by a financial payment). Police say a man made a gesture at Haynesworth for tailgating him. The two later stopped their vehicles and Haynesworth allegedly got out of his pickup truck and punched the man. Details of the agreement were not made public.

Agreement settles Haynesworth road-rage case |
FAIRFAX, Va. (AP) — A northern Virginia judge has dismissed a road-rage assault charge against Washington Redskins defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth after the player reached an agreement with the alleged victim. Under Virginia law, a judge can dismiss misdemeanor assaults under a provision called “accord and satisfaction,” in which a victim says he has been made whole, usually by a financial payment. Police say the man accused Haynesworth of punching him in a traffic altercation in Reston. The man told investigators he made a gesture at Haynesworth for tailgating him. They stopped their two vehicles and Haynesworth allegedly got out of his pickup truck and punched the other driver. At a hearing Tuesday in Fairfax, the case was settled. The details of the agreement haven’t been made public. The alleged victim declined to comment. Copyright 2011 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
