Charge Dropped: A misdemeanor assault charge against New York City Ballet head Peter Martins was dropped Wednesday in Sarasota Springs, N.Y., under an agreement between authorities and his wife, ballerina Darci Kistler, who had Martins arrested Sunday after a marital row. The couple arrived at the courthouse together and left arm-in-arm after a brief appearance before a judge. They said nothing to reporters. The charge was withdrawn “without prejudice,” which means it could be refiled.
