LOS ANGELES (AP) --
LOS ANGELES (AP) - The ex-girlfriend of Detroit Lions wide
receiver Dennis Northcutt has dropped a lawsuit claiming he
arranged his cousin to beat her up at a Hollywood restaurant while
she was pregnant.
Sharri Henry filed papers in Los Angeles Superior Court on
Wednesday asking that the lawsuit against Northcutt be dismissed.
The papers did not reveal reasons why.
The lawsuit claimed Northcutt arranged for his cousin to hit
Henry in the face and disfigure her at the Falcon Club in Hollywood
on May 17, 2008, while she was four months pregnant.
She later gave birth to a boy. Northcutt has denied wrongdoing.
Northcutt joined the Lions this season after two seasons with
the Jacksonville Jaguars and seven with the Cleveland Browns.
