EVANSVILLE — Prosecutors dismissed a domestic battery charge against Evansville weatherman and television reporter Joe Bird due to a lack of evidence.City police arrested Bird on Sept. 29 after a dispute between the WEHT-Eyewitness News meteorologist and another man, identified in court records as 26-year-old Jarrod Martin, reportedly turned violent. But on Wednesday, the Vanderburgh County Prosecutor’s Office dropped its case against Bird, according to legal filings.“In these types of cases, in general, one side’s story is more believable than the other’s,” Chief Deputy Prosecutor Winston Lin said when asked about the dismissal.
