The woman who was allegedly assaulted by Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes has asked that charges be dropped, his attorney said Friday. Holmes was arrested June 19 and charged with misdemeanor domestic violence and simple assault. The woman, the mother of one of Holmes' children, accused Holmes of choking her, throwing her to the ground, grabbing her arms and slamming her into a door, according to a Columbus police statement. The woman has asked that the charges be dismissed, Sam Shamansky, Holmes' attorney, said Friday after a pretrial conference in Franklin County Municipal Court.
