{allcanada} Charges dropped against Damphousse's ex-wife

MONTREAL – The Crown has withdrawn assault charges against the ex-wife of retired NHL star Vincent Damphousse.

Allana Henderson's case was back in court today as she faced charges of theft and assault with a weapon stemming from a March 2011 incident where Damphousse was the victim.

The former couple charged each other a few years ago and Damphousse was acquitted in June 2013.

He was facing six charges of simple assault related to events that allegedly occurred between 2008 and 2011.

Damphousse, who played in Toronto, Edmonton, Montreal and San Jose, issued a statement earlier today calling on the Crown to drop the case against his ex-wife and mother of his two children.

Crown prosecutor Caroline Paquin told Quebec court Judge Salvatore Mascia of Damphousse's decision and Henderson was acquitted.
