Tim Means' child abuse charge dismissed by court

New Mexico UFC fighter Tim Means had a child abuse charge dismissed last week, as confirmed by court records. The dismissal was due to the nonappearance of a witness at the preliminary hearing held on June 15. Means faced allegations stemming from an incident in April involving his teenage daughter. According to law enforcement, she reported physical abuse during an argument, but Means claimed he was only trying to restrain her. The case was dismissed with prejudice, and it remains unclear if the District Attorney's Office will pursue further action.
