Cardinals rookie receiver Christian Kirk has put a legal problem behind him.
The Cardinals drafted Kirk knowing that he had been arrested in February in nearby Scottsdale, Arizona, on a disorderly conduct and property damage charge. Today Kirk had the charges dropped.
Scottsdale city prosecutor Karen Close said Kirk paid restitution and as a result her office dropped the charges.
Kirk and another man were arrested and accused of throwing rocks at cars parked near a Scottsdale golf tournament. One car had a window broken.
Police said Kirk appeared to be drunk or high on a stimulant. The Cardinals said they were confident in his character regardless of the incident.
