He was released on bail hours later, after being booked on suspicion of misdemeanour domestic battery, and had been set to appear in a L.A. court last Friday.

The Los Angeles City Attorney’s office said Monday that Smith’s charge had been dropped.

At no time did I assault her

Spokesman Frank Mateljan said the office decided not to pursue the charge “due to lack of sufficient evidence.”

Smith had denied any wrongdoing in a written statement issued shortly after his arrest, saying the woman involved in the incident was a friend of his with whom he had a “loud and heated dispute.”

“At no time did I assault her. I am not guilty of the misdemeanour charged against me,” he said at the time.
