Hairspray star Nikki Blonsky and America's Next Top Model contestant Bianca Golden have been cleared of assault charges stemming from a summer arrest in the Caribbean.

The girls and several family members were arrested on July 29 in Turks and Caicos after getting into a fight.

"The cases against Nikki Blonsky and Bianca Golden have been dropped," Turks and Caicos Police Sgt. Calvin Chase tells E! News. "The only case that is still proceeding is against [Blonsky's] father."

Carl Blonsky faces assault and inflicting grievous bodily harm charges for his role in the Providenciales International Airport brawl, which left Golden's mom seriously injured. If convicted, he could face up to five years behind bars.

Chase did not give details on why officials are not pursuing assault charges against Blonsky or Golden.

Blonsky is slated to guest star on Ugly Betty Jan. 8.
