Wash. state Ryan Leaf case dismissed

A lawyer for former NFL and Washington State quarterback Ryan Leaf says a fugitive action filed against Leaf in Whatcom County Superior Court in Washington state has been dismissed.

BELLINGHAM, Wash. —

A lawyer for former NFL and Washington State quarterback Ryan Leaf says a fugitive action filed against Leaf in Whatcom County Superior Court in Washington state has been dismissed.

The Whatcom County prosecutor had filed an interstate fugitive case against Leaf after the former quarterback was arrested by federal Customs agents as he crossed the border from Canada in mid-June on his way to face drug and burglary charges in Texas.

Leaf posted bond in Bellingham, Wash., and continued on to Texas, where he pleaded not guilty to the charges there, posted bond and was given permission to return to his Vancouver, British Columbia, home.

Leaf had been ordered to return to Bellingham for a July 16 hearing, but his lawyer Jeffrey Lustick said Thursday that hearing has been canceled.

Lustick says Thursday's court action marks the end of Washington's involvement in the Leaf case.
