A Baldwin County jury last week acquitted a Mobile man on a charge of assaulting two people after watching a professional football game at a Fairhope cafe.

The jury acquitted Steven Neal Waite, 28, on Wednesday on two counts of third-degree assault, which are misdemeanors.

Assistant District Attorney Robert Nichols argued that on Jan. 21, 2007, Waite assaulted Wendy Singleton and Neil Yeager after watching a New Orleans Saints football game at the Fly Creek Cafe off Section Street.
