More good news for Ezekiel Elliott — all of the criminal charges from his December car crash case in Ohio have been dismissed … TMZ Sports has learned.
As we previously reported, Elliott got into a 2-car wreck on Dec. 27th — before Ohio State played in the Fiesta Bowl. Elliott claimed he hydroplaned after hitting a puddle. A person in the other car suffered minor injuries.
When cops arrived to the scene, the running back was cited for driving under a suspended license, no operator’s license and failure to control his vehicle. He faced possible jail time.
Now, we’ve learned … the court has meted out punishment for the Dallas Cowboys star — and instead of doing time, Elliott was ordered to pay $184 in fines and in exchange all charges would be dismissed.
Dude’s rich — so he paid. And now he can turn the page and get back to focusing on playing the Eagles this weekend.
