To me, that means one of two things : A. The charges were false B. It was settled and the victim recended their statement.

Without any evidence to the contrary, this is still a bad image for Mixon with his previous transgressions. I'd still lean towards erring on release (to avoid backlash like Buffalo did with Punt God) or suspension until complete investigation is completed by both parties (Bengals/Mixon).

Good catch.

Although (your point B) if an arrest warrant indeed was issued, based on a allegation from an alleged victim, I would be skeptical that the victim could just rescind a statement based on a settlement without being charged as providing a false statement. They could say they were mistaken, such as realizing it wasn't Mixon, or the police can say they made a mistake, but changing their testimony because they received money? I can't imagine that would fly.
