Four Michigan State football players charged with assault stemming from their roles in an altercation in the tunnel at Michigan Stadium in late October took a step Friday toward having those charges dropped.
Angelo Grose, Itayvion Brown, Brandon Wright and Justin White each entered a diversionary program during a hearing at 15th District Court in Ann Arbor, a move that, after each player worked with the probation office, would lead to charges being dismissed.
“The most important outcome of today’s hearing is this case is on a straight line to being dismissed upon motion of the prosecutor,” said Max Manoogian, Grose’s attorney.
