Powell had been charged with domestic violence-simple assault and/or battery and domestic violence-disturbing the peace. He was acquitted Wednesday after a three-day bench trial in Providence District Court, according to court records.
A woman had alleged her knee was injured March 28 when Powell threw a water bottle at her during an argument at his apartment in Providence. Hours later, he allegedly tracked the woman to a residence in nearby Cranston. She told police he made multiple calls to her and threatened to use a gun to kill everyone in the house and then himself.
