MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) – The charges against former University of Houston standout and current Buffalo Bills defensive tackle Ed Oliver have been dropped after being arrested in Montgomery County.

Oliver’s attorney Gary Patterson told ABC13 on Wednesday that his client’s blood results came back and showed he had nothing in his system when he was arrested and underwent a sobriety test.

Patterson claims that the agents had absolutely no reason to arrest Oliver.

He adds that the gun charge will be automatically dismissed because the charge was dropped by DWI and said it is not illegal to have a gun if Oliver was not committing another crime.
