The alleged victim of an assault at the hands of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice wants charges dropped from the case.

The photographer that Rice allegedly hit signed an affidavit of non-prosecution, Dallas police told FOX4 Kansas City on Tuesday.

Law enforcement opened an investigation into Rice earlier this month after the alleged victim said Rice punched him in the face at a nightclub.

According to FOX4, the police report stated that the photographer received an Instagram message from Rice to return to a club in Dallas after he had left, being under the impression Rice wanted to hire him to take pictures. However, Rice punched him "after asking him to look at Instagram messages on Rice’s phone."

Rice is already under the microscope after he surrendered to authorities last month for his role in a car crash that involved multiple vehicles. He was later released on bond but faces multiple serious charges in the case.

Police said Rice was driving a Lamborghini that reached a top speed of 119 miles per hour, while SMU football player Theodore Knox was driving a Corvette on North Central Expressway in Dallas on March 30.
