New England Patriots wide receiver Irving Fryar will serve six months’ probation in return for a dismissal of weapons possession charges, his attorney said.

Superior Court Judge Martin L. Haines on Friday accepted Fryar’s application to a program that allows defendants to perform community service or other activities in return for charges being dropped.

“He was enrolled in the program that runs for six months,� said Fryar’s attorney, James Letchford of Mount Holly, N.J.

Fryar had pleaded not guilty to charges of possessing a loaded shotgun, a loaded handgun and hollow bullets stemming from his arrest Feb. 14. Letchford said Fryar is licensed to carry the weapons in Massachusetts but not in New Jersey.
