The charges against Sullinger stemming from an alleged domestic dispute with his girlfriend, Deann Smith, in August were dismissed Monday, according to reporters at Waltham District Court. After a brief recess, the judge announced the dismissal a little before noon.

This is obviously not the end for Sullinger. He still has to patch things up with his girlfriend and, as he stressed in a statement immediately following the accusation, make it up to her, the team and fans. It does eliminate one worry for the second-year forward heading into the 2013-14 campaign.
Sullinger and his attorney, Charles Rankin, declined to comment to reporters present.
