Charges against Bills assistant coach Aaron Kromer dropped
— -- PITTSFORD, N.Y. -- The Florida state attorney's office Friday dropped its misdemeanor battery charge against Buffalo Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer.
Assistant Florida state attorney Bobby Elmore told ESPN late Wednesday that the charge was dropped at the request of the accusers' parents, who reached an "amicable resolution" with Kromer's attorneys.
A misdemeanor battery charge against Zachery Kromer, Aaron Kromer's son, was also dropped Friday.
The Bills are aware of the charges being dropped and could issue a statement later Friday.
Aaron Kromer remained on indefinite paid administrative leave from the Bills as they began training camp with a practice Friday morning. Assistant offensive line coach Kurt Anderson led the Bills' offensive line in drills and was assisted by former Chicago Bears offensive line coach Pat Meyer, who the Bills hired as a football operations consultant this summer.
Both Aaron and Zachery Kromer had pleaded not guilty to the battery charges, stemming from a July 11 incident in which Aaron Kromer was alleged to have punched a boy in the face and threatened to kill his family in a dispute over beach chairs. Zachery Kromer was accused of placing his hands on another boy during the altercation.
