Court records indicated that the injury was minor.
Miller appeared in court later Saturday, and a judge said the victim was no longer pressing charges.
The judge ordered Miller’s release, and said he was allowed to contact the victim, but said if there is any violence toward the victim, then his release will be rescinded, Action News Jax reports.
Another hearing was set for Nov. 28, ESPN reported.
