Browns rookie defensive tackle Caleb Brantley won't be charged with misdemeanor battery stemming from allegations he punched a woman in the face April 13 in Gainesville, Fla.
The state attorney's office in Gainesville made the announcement Wednesday with the following news release:
"On April 17, 2017, the Gainesville Police Department filed a sworn complaint with the Office of the State Attorney regarding the alleged commission of a misdemeanor battery by Caleb Brantley against a young woman at a bar near the University of Florida campus several days earlier. A sworn complaint is not an arrest but rather brings potential charges to the State Attorney for a review as to their legal sufficiency and a determination as to whether further action is appropriate.
