Molly Rankin, a member of one of Nova Scotia's most well-known musical families, no longer faces assault charges.

A charge of assault and two counts of assaulting a peace officer were withdrawn earlier this week.

Rankin, 23, was charged in March after the East Coast Music Awards in Sydney.

She is the daughter of the late fiddler John Morris Rankin. She grew up in Cape Breton but now lives in Charlottetown.
