Seahawks defensive tackle Rocky Bernard's domestic-violence case will be dismissed if he complies with a series of conditions for two years.
Bernard, who appeared in Seattle Municipal Court on Monday morning, was arrested in April after an incident at a nightclub in Seattle in which a former girlfriend alleged Bernard struck her.
The city attorney and Bernard agreed to a stipulated order of continuance that says he cannot have any criminal law violations for two years and must comply with the terms of a no-contact order with the victim. He must complete a domestic-violence treatment program, undergo a drug-and-alcohol evaluation, comply with any treatment recommendations, and cannot possess weapons. He also must pay $400 in court costs.
"This represents him taking responsibility for what happened and taking steps to make sure it never happens again," said Bernard's attorney, Jon Scott Fox.
The agreement is not a conviction and won't become one provided Bernard complies with all the conditions for two years. Bernard could have faced up to 90 days in jail and a $1,000 fine if convicted of the misdemeanor domestic-violence assault charge.
