Judge dismisses charges against skier Picabo Street (The Associated Press)

A Utah judge has dismissed domestic violence and assault charges against Olympic gold-medal skier Picabo Street. Street was facing misdemeanor charges after prosecutors say she threw her 76-year-old father down the stairs and locked him in the basement during a fight at her home near Park City. Prosecutors did not return messages seeking comment but Street’s lawyer Joe Wrona says statements from the skier’s mother and father made it clear she was acting in self-defense.
