New England Patriots wide receiver Irving Fryar will serve six months’ probation in return for a dismissal of weapons possession charges, his attorney said.

Superior Court Judge Martin L. Haines on Friday accepted Fryar’s application to a program that allows defendants to perform community service or other activities in return for charges being dropped.

“He was enrolled in the program that runs for six months,” said Fryar’s attorney, James Letchford of Mount Holly, N.J.

Fryar had pleaded not guilty to charges of possessing a loaded shotgun, a loaded handgun and hollow bullets stemming from his arrest Feb. 14. Letchford said Fryar is licensed to carry the weapons in Massachusetts but not in New Jersey.
