Prosecutors today dropped the assault case against University of Colorado defensive lineman Josh Tupou, who was accused of starting a brawl on University Hill in February.

The Boulder County District Attorney's Office filed a motion to dismiss the case against Tupou at a hearing today at the Boulder County Jail. County Judge Norma Sierra accepted the motion and released the bond for Tupou, who appeared out of custody.
