Read the court documents: Robert Henson 
Stephen Hodge Read about the arrest 
Two football players who were arrested in April on misdemeanor weapons charges had their cases dismissed, according to court documents.
Robert Henson, 21, who was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon, and Stephen Hodge, 20, who was charged with unlawful carrying of a weapon and reckless discharge of a firearm, had their cases dropped Thursday “in the interest of justice,” according to court documents.
The misdemeanor charges were dropped at the request of the Tarrant County District Attorney’s office, according to court documents. Both men were to complete programs to dismiss their cases, but the documents detailing the programs were not in the court files Tuesday and the prosecutor in charge of the case was not available for comment.
When contacted by the Skiff, Henson said he had no comment about the case.
Hodge wouldn’t speak to a reporter when contacted on his cell phone Tuesday.
The men were arrested April 20 at the Southern Oaks Apartment complex on South Hulen Street by Fort Worth police officer K.D. Willingham, according to a police report.
According to the report, Henson was found holding a black handgun. He handed the gun to Hodge, who fired several rounds into the air before Willingham confiscated the .45-caliber handgun and arrested the men, according to the report.
After the two men were arrested in April, head coach Gary Patterson told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that Hodge and Henson were embarrassed about the incident and discipline would be handed out according to the team policy. Patterson told the newspaper the men would also likely be suspended.
Mark Cohen, director of athletics media relations, declined to comment about the dismissal of the charges and said Patterson had no comment either.
Henson, a junior linebacker, and Hodge, a junior safety, have been active players on the team this year.
The men’s defense attorney, Jeff Kearney, did not return phone calls and e-mails seeking comments about the case Tuesday.
