Charges dropped for Derrius Guice after settlement in domestic violence case

Domestic violence charges against former Catholic High, LSU and NFL running back Derrius Guice were dropped following a settlement reached Wednesday.

Guice was charged in August 2020 with felony strangulation and four misdemeanors including choking, pushing and destroying the cell phone of his then-girlfriend. The charges led to his release from the NFL’s Washington Football Team.

Attorneys for both parties confirmed an agreement was reached Wednesday but are withholding the terms of the settlement, according to the Washington Post.
