The criminal charges filed against Nate Dogg for allegedly stalking and threatening his estranged wife have been dropped.
During a court hearing on Wednesday (April 15), the charges were dropped against 38-year-old Nate, real name Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, when California prosecutors revealed the alleged victim had not maintained contact with the District Attorney's office.
In July 2008 Hale pleaded not guilty to two counts of making criminal threats, one count of stalking and a misdemeanor count of driving with a suspended license stemming from a prior DUI conviction.
He was facing criminal charges over two emails he was accused of sending to his wife and allegedly chasing her down a California freeway.
Prior to last July's court appearance Nate Dogg suffered a stroke that left him wheelchair bound and two months later suffered another that left him requiring assistance breathing.
Due to his medical condition a Compton Superior Court judge recommended that the charges be dropped, but gave prosecutors the option to refile the case at a later date.
Nate Dogg is currently recovering at a rehabilitation facility.
