Former Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots running back Corey Dillon has been charged with a pair of misdemeanors following his April arrest on suspicion of drunk driving, the Los Angeles Times is reporting.

Per the report, Dillon was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs and driving while having a blood alcohol content of .08 or higher.

Dillon was going to face a domestic violence charge, but prosecutors didn't go forward with formal charges when his wife didn't want to stick with the case. She recanted her story and said she wasn't harmed by Dillon.

During his wife's initial filing, she alleged that the former NFL player "poured milk over her head, threw water on her and poured soy sauce on her" and that she incurred "a superficial cut on her thumb."

Either way, it's been an eventful spring for Dillon and not in a good way.
