The woman that is suing Steelers wide receiver Santonio Holmes over a March 7th nightclub incident has changed her mind and now wants criminal charges filed against him. Anshonae Mills originally declined to press charges and stated that she didn\’t want to get Holmes in trouble. Police have decided to re-activate the case that was closed on Tuesday of this week. Holmes\’ lawyer is turning up the heat as well. Looks like another soap opera like story line that will play out through the Summer.
