A woman filed a police report last month, accusing Grizzlies forward Zach Randolph of strangling her.
TMZone week later, officials say the woman changed her story ... and during a police interview on March 31st, and said there WAS an argument but Randolph NEVER touched her.
According to official documents ... cops say the woman told officers, “she was upset and decided to file a fabricated police report and ‘just wanted to get his money.’”
The L.A. County District Attorney’s office has tossed the case.
It’s a shame Randolph faced these false accusations. Hopefully, anyone who saw the news of the initial report also sees this development.
