R&B singer Mario will not be prosecuted for allegedly assaulting his mother, after she asked the judge to dismiss the case against her son. Mario was arrested last month and charged with second degree assault after his mother, Shawntia Hardaway, told police he had been damaging property at their home in Baltimore, Maryland and had reportedly shoved her. Hardaway, who has battled heroin addiction, also claimed Mario had been violent towards her just days before his arrest. Mario was released on $50,000 bail and spoke out publicly to back his mother, who is said to be battling an alcohol problem. “I love my mother very much… I will continue to support her any way that I can,” the âLt Me Love Youâ hitmaker wrote on Twitter following the arrest. Hardaway went before a Baltimore judge on Wednesday to admit she had been drinking at the time of their altercation and requested that the case against her son be dropped – and prosecutors agreed. The singer has vowed to continue “supporting his mother” as she battles her personal issues, according to his lawyer, William Murphy III. “Anyone who has waged the battle to save loved ones from the forces of drugs knows the irrational behavior that almost always accompanies their actions,â Marioâs lawyer tells the Baltimore Sun. âMario remains committed to supporting his mother.â “It was clear from the beginning that Mario never touched or struck his mother. She was under the influence of drugs when she gave her statement to police. To her credit, she corrected her statement in court today.”
R&B singer Mario has recently been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. The star was facing assault charges, and fears were rampant that his career would be over if he was found guilty. However, those worries have now been put to rest as the court dismissed Mario’s case with prejudice. This is major news for fans of the R&B superstar who are thrilled he will no longer face criminal prosecution.
The incident took place back in 2018 when Mario attended a party at an Atlanta nightclub. Allegedly, he got into an altercation which resulted in him being charged with simple battery and disorderly conduct. At first it seemed like this could spell disaster for his booming music career but fortunately the courts saw differently – much to everyone’s relief!
This article delves into what happened on that fateful night and why the charges against Mario have now been dropped. It also examines how this decision may affect his life going forward as well as what might come next for one of R&B’s most beloved stars.
Background Of The Case
The legal case against R&B singer Mario, born Mario Dewar Barrett, has been dismissed. The charges stem from an incident in which the singer was accused of assaulting his mother and brother at their Baltimore County home in July 2020. This is not the first time that Mario’s behavior has landed him in trouble with the law; he had previously been arrested for drug possession, disorderly conduct, and a DUI.
In this particular instance, however, it appears that all parties involved have decided to move on without any further action taken by either side. Although the details surrounding what happened are still unclear, reports indicate that both sides agreed to drop the matter after some deliberation. As part of this agreement, neither party will be filing civil or criminal charges against each other.
Mario released a statement following news of the dismissal stating that he was “grateful” for everyone who supported him during this difficult time and thanked them for standing behind him as he worked towards resolving things peacefully between himself and his family members. He also took the opportunity to apologize for any pain caused by his actions and promised to never put himself or anyone else in such an unfortunate situation again.
Outcome Of Court Proceedings
In the end, it appears that all parties involved were able to reach an amicable solution. The court proceedings came to a close with the judge deciding to dismiss the charges against Mario due to lack of evidence and mutual agreement between both sides. While neither party was willing or able to provide any further information about what happened during July 2020 incident, this decision serves as a reminder that sometimes cooler heads can prevail in difficult situations.
Although no action will be taken against either side, it is important for everyone to remember that there are always consequences for our actions. Mario has publicly apologized for his role in the situation and promised not to repeat such behavior again; hopefully he can use this experience as an opportunity for personal growth and development moving forward.
It remains unclear how much this ordeal impacted Mario’s career but considering how quickly it was resolved, he may still have time to make up lost ground before too long passes.
