State drops felony charges against ex-TV newsman

STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) Prosecutors have withdrawn felony charges against former WCBS news anchor Rob Morrison accused of calling his estranged wife more than 100 times over Memorial Day weekend, violating a protective order.

The 46-year-old Morrison was arrested in June by Darien police and charged with a felony for allegedly violating a judge's order and harassing Ashley Morrison.

The Advocate of Stamford reports that Morrison pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of breach of peace.

As he left Stamford Superior Court Tuesday, Morrison said he wants to move forward and taking the case to trial would not benefit his son or wife who now lives in Florida.

Morrison was arrested in February 2013 on charges he threatened and choked his wife. Threatening and breach of peace charges were expunged from his record in April.
