Former Steelers running back Chris Rainey‘s girlfriend says she was not assaulted and that the state of Florida should drop the battery charge against him, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports. That‘s according to Rainey‘s lawyer, Huntley Johnson, who read an email from the woman during a bond hearing Friday. Gainesville, Fla., police charged Rainey with simple battery Thursday after an alleged altercation with his girlfriend. Police say the two were arguing over Rainey‘s cell phone and that when his girlfriend got into a vehicle, the ex-Florida Gator tried to pull her out. Witnesses told detectives Rainey slapped his girlfriend across the face, then chased her when she ran away with his phone but the girlfriend‘s email said witnesses were mistaken, and Johnson pointed out that officers found no marks on the woman‘s face.
