Child abuse charges against Alabama Shakes drummer Steve Johnson dismissed
Alabama Shakes' drummer Steve Johnson, who was arrested on child abuse charges in March, has had those charges dismissed.
According to The Associated Press, court records show that a Limestone County, Alabama, judge dismissed charges against Johnson last Thursday (16 December).
The Alabama Shakes drummer, who was arrested in March, was indicted on charges of "willful torture, willful abuse, and cruelly beating or otherwise willfully maltreating a child under the age of 18." In early April he was released on bail.
His lawyer Nick Lough told The Associated Press, "Steve Johnson maintained his innocence the entire time. He had to wait for his day in court like so many people do. Thankfully, these charges have been dismissed."
