UPDATE: The domestic violence charge against Josh Brown was dropped, court says

Giants kicker Josh Brown was arrested in May of 2015 on a domestic violence charge, according to documents obtained by NJ Advance Media.

Brown was suspended Wednesday one game by the NFL for violating its personal conduct policy. It is unclear if the arrest is the reason for his suspension.

Brown was arrested at 3:20 p.m. on May 22, 2015 in Woodinville, Wa., by the King County Sheriff Department on a fourth-degree domestic violence charge, according to a police report. The charge is a misdemeanor, according to the police report. The status of the charge is unclear.

According to public records, a residence shared by Brown and his wife is located at the address Brown was arrested. Brown was booked into the county jail and released on $2,000 bond, according to police documents.

According to the police report, Brown and the victim "quarrelled (sic)." Brown grabbed the victim's wrist while the victim was picking up a phone, according to police.

The victim then called 911, according to the police report, and alleged an assault. The report states the victim had "redness" on the wrist, "and a small cut, possibly from a fingernail."

The name of the victim was redacted in the original police report. As a matter of policy, NJ Advance Media does not disclose the names of victims of alleged domestic violence.

NJ Advance Media reached out to the Giants on Wednesday evening, who had no comment regarding this report, according to a team spokesperson. Brown's agent did not respond to messages requesting comment.

According to the NFL personal conduct policy, "If you are convicted of a crime or subject to a disposition of a criminal proceeding ... you are subject to discipline." The policy further states that a criminal conviction is not needed to be subject to league discipline.

Brown played all 16 games for the Giants last season. Brown, who has been with the Giants since 2013, earned his first Pro Bowl selection in 2015. Brown connected on 30-of-32 field goals and 44-of-45 extra-points last season.

The 37-year-old is entering his 14th season in the NFL. Brown re-signed with the Giants in April, agreeing to a two-year, $4 million contract. Brown is suspended without pay for one game, so he will lose $72,058 of his $1.225 million base salary.

In a statement released by the team after his suspension was announced, Brown said, "While I do not agree with the suspension, I will accept it. I have exhausted the appeals process and have no other options along those lines. I will continue to work hard for this team, and I have tremendous confidence in my teammates and in my ability to move on and contribute to the team."

Head coach Ben McAdoo said in a statement: "We have been supportive of Josh and will continue to be, but we accept the league's decision."
