On March 22, the Orange County District Attorney's office announced it had dismissed domestic violence charges against Ricky and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland.
Roiland had been charged with domestic battery with corporal injury and false imprisonment by menace, violence, fraud and/or deceit in connection to an incident in 2020. He pleaded not guilty at a pre-trial in January before charges were dropped.
Kimberly Edds, a spokesperson for the DA's office, explained in a statement to Variety that there was insufficient evidence and so the charges were dropped against Roiland.
