Assault charges against former NHLer Ward dismissed

The Wake County (N.C.) District Attorney's Office dismissed assault charges against former NHL defenseman and television analyst Aaron Ward on Friday, according to TSN.

Ward was charged with two misdemeanors - assault on a female and interfering with emergency communications - after an alleged domestic incident in October.

The DA reviewed the case and determined "that further prosecution is not warranted."

Ward was a regular on TSN until his arrest. He played over 800 games in the NHL.
