Case against Wesley dismissed
The Kansas City Star

A charge against Chiefs defensive back Greg Wesley that stemmed from an altercation outside a Plaza bar in January was dismissed Friday.

Kansas City Municipal Court Judge John B. Williams granted a defense request to throw out the case after the bar bouncer who alleged that Wesley had lunged at him failed to show up for the scheduled trial, despite being subpoenaed by prosecutors and the defense. The charge cannot be refiled.

Defense attorney Kevin Regan said afterward that Wesley had always maintained his innocence, and the fact that the witness didn’t show up for court should set the record straight.
