Deionte Thompson’s long-standing legal situation came to an end Tuesday.

The aggravated assault charge against the now-former Alabama safety was dismissed Tuesday morning, his father Vester Thompson confirmed to BamaOnLine. AL.com was first to report the news.

Along with Rufus Joseph, Daletredricc Wolfford and Morris Joseph, Jr. -- a defensive lineman who spent the 2017 season at UT-San Antonio -- Thompson was charged with allegedly beating Noah Frillou in Crystal Beach, Texas, on March 18, 2017, to the point of causing serious bodily injury. The quartet was then indicted by a Galveston County grand jury in October of 2017.

Since the indictment proceedings, Thompson has met conditions of a $20,000 bond that included drug testing every 30 days, an obligation Thompson was required to pay for himself.

Thompson's attorney, Sean Villery-Samuel, has stated that his client is set on being fully exonerated.

"Racial slurs were used and drinks were thrown at the people that were with Deionte Thompson," Villery-Samuel said in a statement to the Beaumont Enterprise on Nov. 2, 2017. "Thompson maintains his innocence and looks forward to having his day in court, so that he can clear his name."

Thompson took over as the quarterback of the secondary in 2018 and was named a consensus All-American for his performance on the field. Earlier in the season, Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe compared Thompson to Sean Taylor and Ed Reed. The Orange, Texas, native finished second on the team in tackles with 78 and picked off two passes for the Crimson Tide.

Declaring for the 2019 NFL Draft on Sunday, Jan. 12, Thompson is CBS Sports’ No. 18 overall draft prospect and top-rated safety after four seasons within the Crimson Tide football program.

"Deionte has really good range," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said earlier this season. "I think it helps a lot when you play middle-of-the-field coverage that's got a safety that can really break on the ball. Also when you play split safety coverages, those guys' range back there is critical to overlapping throws. He does a really, really good job of that. It's kind of what we expect. He is really good at it, and that is a bonus for us."
