Miami Dolphins wideout Jarvis Landry can let out a big sigh of relief.
Reports previously surfaced Tuesday about Landry evading possible domestic charges, but according to Chris Perkins of the Sun Sentinel, the Broward County State Attorney's Office decided that no necessary charges should be filed after it concluded its investigation of the case.
Prosecutors said that an investigation determined there was “no reasonable likelihood” of a conviction. The case involved an April 1 encounter between Landry and Estrella Cerqueira, the mother of their daughter.
The incident reportedly happened back in April with Landry’s girlfriend and mother of his child, Estrella Cerqueira. Cerqueira, however, said in August that Landry didn’t physically hurt her, contrary to the original report. That served as the impetus for the Broward County State Attorney's Office to ultimately put an end to their investigation.

Following this latest development, Landry released a statement via his attorneys, which was published by ESPN’s Adam Schefter on his Facebook account:
“I am very thankful that this matter is over and my family and I can put this behind us now,” Landry said. “I greatly respect and appreciate the Broward County State Attorney’s Office for their hard work and thorough investigation into this matter and I am thankful that they were able to come to a conclusion that reaffirms the true facts that no crime was committed. My daughter’s mother and I will continue to co-parent to raise our child in a happy and healthy environment. I would like to thank my family and friends for their continued support throughout this process.”
With all that behind him now, Landry can now focus on preparing for the Dolphins' upcoming showdown with the New Orleans Saints this Sunday.
