An American court has dismissed the charges against Hawthorn midfielder Connor MacDonald, bringing the off-season scandal involving teammate Dylan Moore to a close.
Both Hawks were charged with third-degree criminal trespass, while Moore was also accused of possessing drug paraphernalia, but that charge was dropped early in proceedings.
Last month, Moore had his trespassing charge dropped against him and was required to pay a $300 diversion fee, complete an alcohol screening and take 16 hours of alcohol education. MacDonald faced the same fate, according to the Herald Sun.
Both Moore and MacDonald spent the night in jail after their arrest late last year, with the former losing his vice-captaincy role after the incident.
When news of the incident broke in March, Moore explained what went wrong during the post-season trip.
"I was in the US, I was out having a few drinks, and made a foolish mistake, decided to get on a scissor lift and next thing I know the cops are there telling me to get off, and I got off, and next thing I know, I'm in police custody," Moore told Seven News.
"It's something that I'll always regret. A foolish mistake has led to a night in a jail cell and many regrets.
"I felt a bit of disappointment, regret, stress, anxiety.
"I was in a cell overnight not knowing if my friends and family knew in Australia.
"It was all just disappointment and fear of what they're going to think."
