Country star Hank Williams Jr has had those previously reported assault charges against him dismissed. As you may remember (it was quite a while ago), a 19 year old waitress accused Williams of shouting obscenities at her and attempting to choke her at a hotel in Memphis back in March of 2006. You might also remember that a lawyer hired by the girl's family demanded $250,000 from Williams just two days after alleged attack, but denied that they were just trying to extort money from the star.
DA Bill Gibbons would not confirm why the case had been thrown out, so it's not clear whether the waitress dropped the case, or if a financial settlement was indeed reached. Elsewhere in Hank Williams Jr news, the country star filed for divorce from his fourth wife, Mary Jane, earlier this month.
