Atlantic City, New Jersey judge Michael A. Donio signed a dismissal order sent over by the Atlantic County D.A. early Thursday morning. The order requested that a third-degree aggravated-assault charge against Rice be dismissed based upon Rice’s successful completion of all terms and conditions of his pretrial intervention.
