On Tuesday afternoon in Quebec City, Judge Rena Edmond acquitted former CIS quarterback Alex Skinner of assault charges stemming from a June 2013 incident.
This ruling ended a three year roller coaster for Skinner which saw his CIS career evaporate.
Back in 2013, Skinner was charged after an alleged altercation with an off-duty police officer in a parking lot of a bar establishment in Ste. Foy, Quebec.
Media reports have indicated that Skinner could be considering filing a civil suit.
Skinner was undefeated as a starter in 2013Β completing 72 of his 105 attempts for 1,013 yards with eight touchdowns and two interceptions for Laval Rouge et Or.
The Rouge et Or handed Skinner a three game suspension at the beginning of the 2014 CIS season.
Previous to the CIS, Skinner also suited up for the Cumberland Panthers of the Ontario Varsity Football League (OVFL).
