NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) - The case against singer Michelle Branch was dismissed Wednesday at the request of the state according to the Davidson County Clerk’s Office.

Singer Michelle Branch was arrested in Nashville on August 11 after slapping her husband, according to police.

Police responded to the 4300 block of Chickering Lane at about 2 a.m. Thursday regarding a domestic disturbance.

Branch was charged with domestic assault and taken into custody without incident.

Officials have not said why the case has been dropped at this time.
