No Charges Filed Against Misty McMichael After Frankfort Arrest: State's Attorney's Office

FRANKFORT, IL — Charges were not filed against Misty McMichael, the widow of Chicago Bears legend Steve "Mongo" McMichael, after she was arrested Friday morning in Frankfort, the Will County State's Attorney's Office said.

McMichael, 55, was originally charged with misdemeanor domestic battery on Friday after deputies were called to a home on Kuse Road in Frankfort for a 911 hang-up at 5:25 a.m. Friday.

McMichael and a man both told police they had been drinking and arguing for hours, officials said. The man said the fight became physical and that McMichael choked him, according to the sheriff's office.

McMichael refuted this, telling police the argument did not become physical, the sheriff's office said.

McMichael was arrested and taken to the Adult Detention Facility; however, prosecutors have declined to file charges against her.
