A domestic battery case against Chiefs assistant Dave Merritt is dismissed
without prejudice
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) --- A misdemeanor domestic battery case against Chiefs
assistant Dave Merritt has been dismissed without prejudice, less than three
weeks after the longtime NFL coach entered a plea of not guilty and was
released from jail in Johnson County, Kansas.
The 54-year-old Merritt spent several years playing linebacker in the NFL
before becoming one of the best defensive backs coaches in the league. He has
been with the Chiefs since 2019, and including his time with the Giants, has
helped teams win five Super Bowls.
He took part in the Chiefs' rookie minicamp last weekend.
"Dave's been very up-front with everything," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said
Saturday. "We're still going through that whole procedure. In this case, you
always let the law enforcement part take care of itself and work its way out."
