DK Metcalf will not face criminal charges over Lions fan altercation, prosecutors say

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf will not face criminal charges related to his mid-game altercation with a Detroit Lions fan at Ford Field in December.Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy’s office, which handles Detroit-related criminal cases, said in a statement Friday that it is declining a request for an arrest warrant after an “extensive review.” It noted that investigators interviewed everyone involved, including Ford Field security personnel and other fans who witnessed the confrontation.Video of the incident showed Metcalf snatching Lions fan Ryan Kennedy by his jersey while Kennedy was in the stands. Metcalf said at the time that Kennedy shouted something at him, but did not say what. Worthy’s office confirmed Metcalf’s account, describing Kennedy’s behavior as “heckling.”“As Mr. Metcalf approached the stands, there was a brief interaction where Mr. Metcalf grabbed his shirt and pushed him back,” the statement said. “The fan did not appear to be injured, nor did he seek medical attention at the game.”While no criminal charges will be filed, Metcalf still faces a $100 million civil lawsuit filed by Kennedy.“We applaud the decision (of the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office) and are thankful for the hard work and thorough investigation that led to this just
