The domestic violence case stemming from a November 24 incident appears to have been dropped, according to a report from TMZ.
The incident occurred at the Tampa, Florida hotel the 49ers were staying at the day before the team's Week 12 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and once again involved on-and-off-again girlfriend, Elissa Ennis.
"TMZ Sports spoke with Foster's attorney Eddie Suarez who tells us he believes the case was dropped due to issues with the witness' credibility," wrote TMZ. "Suarez says he believes the fact Foster's accuser has changed her story about a previous domestic violence incident multiple times was a factor in the decision to drop the case."
Ennis was involved in a previous domestic violence case against Foster which stemmed from a February 11 incident at the star linebacker's home. The judge later ruled that there was insufficient evidence to proceed with the domestic violence case against Foster after the alleged victim, Ennis, testified that the charges against the linebacker were based on her lies.
The 49ers promptly announced on November 25 that the team was waiving the troubled linebacker. The move became official on November 26 and, in a very controversial move, Washington claimed Foster on November 27.
