Sports Briefing | College Football: Charges Are Dropped in Rutgers Receiver’s Case

A judge dismissed simple assault charges against Rutgers wide receiver Leonte Carroo.

The charges were filed last month after authorities in New Jersey said Carroo had attacked a woman after a game and slammed her onto concrete. The woman’s hip, hands, elbow and head were injured.

A Piscataway municipal court judge dismissed the charges after the woman said she did not want to testify. Earlier, another judge had lifted a temporary restraining order filed against Carroo because the woman said she did not think it was necessary.

The team suspended Carroo when the charges were filed.
