Pittsburgh Steelers receiver DK Metcalf won’t face criminal charges for a Dec. 21 altercation with a fan at Ford Field during a game against the Detroit Lions, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office announced Friday.
“At approximately 5:30 p.m., it is alleged that (Ryan Kennedy) left his seat holding a Metcalf jersey to get an autograph,” according to a statement obtained by the the Detroit Free Press’ Christian Romo. “As he approached the front railing of the stands, he said something to Mr. Metcalf. As Mr. Metcalf approached the stands, there was a brief interaction where Mr. Metcalf grabbed his shirt and pushed him back. The fan did not appear to be injured, nor did he seek medical attention at the game.
“After an extensive review of all the relevant evidence, the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office has determined that charges will not issue in this case.”
