Fred Kerley’s Florida Domestic-Violence Case Dismissed

A separate Miami police case from 2025 remains active.

Overview

  • TMZ reported the dismissal Thursday after a Florida court dropped the criminal case tied to Kerley’s January 2025 arrest.
  • Attorney Richard Cooper said prosecutors lacked evidence and good faith to proceed, and he emphasized Kerley’s intent to refocus on racing.
  • Kerley celebrated on Instagram, writing that the process put him through hell and declaring the cases dismissed.
  • The original police report stated his estranged wife alleged a May 2024 dispute turned physical, including claims of choking and a taken phone.
  • At the time officers determined probable cause, Kerley was already jailed from a separate Miami incident in which he was tased after allegedly pushing an officer, which remains unresolved.
