Ryan Zebley had denounced Las Vegas Bandits wide beneficiary Davante Adams of attack during a game at Kansas City on October 10 last year. The charge has been dropped.

The Kansas City Star, refering to a representative for the Kansas City metropolitan court, revealed that the investigator had excused the wrongdoing allegation on June 5 and that the case was shut.

Adams had supposedly pushed Zebly, who was working for ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Football’ group as an independent picture taker. The episode occurred after Las Vegas Marauders’ MNF game versus Kansas City Bosses at Sharpened stone Arena.

With freelance photographer Ryan Zebley now suing Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams over Adams shoving him while walking to the locker room in a game against the Chiefs last October, I had thoughts on the prospect of this lawsuit when the shove happened:

The Bandits had lost 29-30.

Ryan Zebly, according to records, endured whiplash and had a cerebral pain based on what is accepted to be a blackout. He sued Adams, the Las Vegas Looters and the Bosses. The common case is as yet forthcoming.

Davante Adams apologized after the game. He said that the push “was simply disappointment blended in with [Zebley] in a real sense running before me.”

“Sorry to the person I pushed over after the game. Clearly exceptionally disappointed at the manner in which the game finished and when he ran infront of me as I left that was my response and I felt awful right away. That is not me..MY Statements of regret man trust you see this,” the star WR said.

“The casualty is a picture taker at the Bosses/Thieves game. Toward the finish of the game, he was pushed to the ground causing injury. He made courses of action for private vehicle to the emergency clinic for treatment when he called police. The wounds are for starters remembered to non-life undermine. The occurrence will be examined by our Attack Unit analysts, upon finishing they will facilitate with the material city or state examiner to decide any pertinent charges,” ESPN detailed police’s articulation then, at that point.
