Tennessee Sports Radio fired on-air personality Chris Treece after police charged him with domestic violence.

Treece sent a statement to Local 8 News in Knoxville confirming that charge has since been dropped.

Chris Treece said, "Unfortunately in the eyes of some, I was immediately labeled guilty. Even though the charge was dismissed less than 48 hours after it began, great damage was done. Thank you to the many family members, friends and supporters of the VolNation for your words of support and encouragement for me and my family."


Tennessee Sports Radio General Manager Jason Bailey said, "Tennessee Sports Radio, our advertisers and our partners do not condone violence in any form. For this reason, we immediately removed a member of our staff this week as soon as we were notified of the arrest. This person is no longer part of Tennessee Sports Radio."

Treece is a former U.T. football player.
