A misdemeanor domestic violence charge against former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel has been dismissed by the Dallas County district attorney's office, WFAA reported Wednesday.

Manziel had reached a deal with prosecutors last year to dismiss the case if he met certain conditions, including completing an anger management course and making no contact with his ex-girlfriend, Colleen Crowley.

Manziel was accused of repeatedly hitting Crowley on Jan. 30, 2016, as they drove from Hotel ZaZa in Dallas to her apartment in Fort Worth.

He was later indicted on a Class A misdemeanor charge of assault/family violence.

Manziel, who won the Heisman Trophy at Texas A&M in 2012, was cut by the Cleveland Browns in March 2016.
