Missouri defensive end Tre Williams, who remains suspended from the Tigers football team, has been charged with second-degree domestic assault, a felony, according to court documents.
Williams was arrested Sunday morning after his girlfriend called Columbia police and told an officer that Williams had choked and hit her, according to a probable cause statement.
Assistant Boone County prosecuting attorney Susan Boresi was quoted by two news outlets, the Columbia Missourian on Tuesday night and the Columbia Daily Tribune on Wednesday morning, indicating charges would not be filed or would be dismissed because additional information made the case difficult to prosecute.
