After announcing late last week the domestic violence case between Laremy Tunsil and his stepfather would be dropped, a judge made the motions official.

According to the Jackson Clarion Ledger, the All-American offensive lineman at Ole Miss and his stepfather, Lindsey Miller, dropped the charges they were pressing against each other. A Lafayette County Justice Judge dismissed the case Monday, after the two parties apparently came to an agreement on Friday.

Steven Farese Sr., an attorney representing Tunsil, told the newspaper Friday he and Matthew Wilson, Miller's attorney, obtained signatures from their clients on dismissal motions Friday. The judge's announcement came on Monday as Farese projected.

On June 25, Tunsil alleged he witnessed Miller shove his mother and physically intervened to protect her, the version of events he gave to his head football coach, Hugh Freeze. But Miller claims his stepson got physical with him when confronted about his involvement with NFL agents.

In addressing the situation regarding his star lineman, Freeze acknowledged Tunsil was only participating in legal contact with said agents. The NCAA allows student-athletes to talk with professional agents as long as they do not accept any sort of gift or payment. Miller accused Tunsil of accepting cash and other benefits the NCAA deems impermissible.

The NCAA is currently investigating Tunsil's case, and representatives from the collegiate athletics governing body have already spoken to Miller and contacted the University of Mississippi.

Freeze addressed the situation at the 2015 SEC Media Days, the Ledger noted, but only repeated sentiments he had already expressed.

"I'm very confident in the way we do things," Freeze said. "I'm very confident in the person Laremy is, too. We look forward to that coming to a conclusion at whatever time is appropriate."
