Hank in the clear

It's been a week of tidying up for Hank Williams Jr - he's sorted out his divorce, and now the assault charge which had been hanging over him has gone away, with charges relating to an alleged choking of a cocktail waitress being dropped:

[District attorney] Gibbons would not say whether [alleged victim Holly] Hornbeak wanted to drop the case or if the parties reached a financial settlement. A private attorney hired by her parents demanded $250,000 from Williams two days after the alleged assault, but Hornbeak denied that the case was driven by money.

... although it never hurts, does it?
