Cowboys LB Damien Wilson cleared of assault charges
A grand jury cleared Dallas Cowboys linebacker Damien Wilson of all charges from a Fourth of July incident on Wednesday.
Wilson, 24, was charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, stemming from a parking lot dispute over the summer holiday weekend.
According to police report from the incident, Wilson “intentionally” backed into a woman while trying to find a parking spot at Toyota Stadium, and then brandished a rifle at a man that caused “him to be fear.”
But Wilson won’t go to trial over the matter. He posted on social media that Wednesday was “a beautiful day.”
