HOUSTON (FOX 26)
The Atlanta, Ga. Police Department declined to press charges of child abuse
against Houston Rockets center Dwight Howard.
Howard's ex-girlfriend, Royce Reed, alleged last year Howard beat his then
six-year old son with a belt causing bruises and abrasions.
"I can confirm we are not moving forward with charges in this case," said
Sgt. Gregory Lyon, in an email to FOX 26 Sports.
喬治亞州亞特蘭大的警方已經取消對火箭隊球星-Dwight Howard虐待兒童的指控。
Howard的前女友Royce Reed，宣稱去年Howard用皮帶毆打他當時六歲的兒子，造成擦傷和
瘀青。
"我可以證實在這個案件上，我們是毫無進展，"警長Gregory Lyo在一封寫給FOX 26的
e-mail中透露。
Howard's attorney, David Oscar Markus, is pleased with the decision."We are
gratified that the Atlanta Police Department, after fully examining the
frivolous allegations against Dwight Howard, has closed the case and decided
not to proceed with charges," said Markus in a statement to FOX 26 Sports.
"Dwight Howard will continue to act in the best interest of his children and
do whatever is necessary to protect their welfare."
DwightHoward的律師David Oscar Markus很滿意這個結果。"我們對亞特蘭大警方感到滿
意，經過完整的調查這些對於Dwight Howard的瘋狂指控後，已經結束這個案子並且不再
繼續控訴。" Markus向FOX 26的聲明中如此表示。"Howard將會繼續以孩子的最佳利益為
前提去行事，並且去做所有能保障他們福利的事情。"
The Florida Department of Children and Families originally investigated the
allegations and did not find evidence of child abuse.
TMZ reported in January Cobb County in Georgia also looked into the
allegations, but determined the alleged incident took place in Fulton County,
with the Atlanta Police Department taking over the investigation.
起初，由佛羅里達兒童家庭屬起初調查這個指控，但並沒有找到任何關於虐待兒童的證據
。
知名八卦網站TMZ報導，一月時喬治亞州科布郡同樣進行調查這項指控，但判斷這項指控
發生在富爾頓縣，於是與亞特蘭大警方接手調查。
