Municipal Judge Clinton Deveaux dismissed the case after Marshall and his fiance, Michi Leshase Nogami-Campbell, both of whom were charged with disorderly conduct, refused to testify against each other.

Despite being in the clear from a legal standpoint, the Pro Bowl receiver might still be disciplined for repeated violations of the league's personal conduct code, which gives commissioner Roger Goodell the authority to punish players.

"We will (still) look into it," league spokesman Greg Aiello told The Associated Press on Monday after the case against Marshall was dropped.

Marshall, who was jailed for five hours Sunday morning after his fourth arrest in three years, is looking at possibly beginning the season at home just like he did last year. Marshall was banned from the opener following seven police-related incidents with his former girlfriend.

If he's penalized again, it will likely be for much longer.

When reached by FOX 31 KDVR in Denver, Marshall said, "I'm very happy, thank you. This is still not a good time, and there's a lot that I have to go through."

Repeat offenders of the league's conduct policy, such as Tank Johnson and Chris Henry, have received eight-game suspensions. Adam "Pacman" Jones was suspended for the 2007 season after repeated run-ins with the law.

"It's always a concern whenever the league is looking into things," Marshall's lawyer, Harvey Steinberg, said. "We'll deal with it. ... I'm hopeful the league will treat us fairly and appropriately as they've done in the past."

Broncos spokesman Patrick Smyth said the team has no comment.

The team's new brain trust of general manager Brian Xanders and coach Josh McDaniels were already dealing with the fallout from trade talks with franchise quarterback Jay Cutler over the weekend when Marshall got into trouble again.
