SEATTLE — Seattle Seahawks fullback Derrick Coleman will be released from jail on Friday without criminal charges filed against him after being arrested on suspicion of vehicular assault and hit-and-run, both felonies, a local prosecutor's office said.
Coleman, 24, will be released from Seattle's King County Correctional Facility pending the results of an investigation into his collision with a car earlier this week, said King County Prosecutor's Office spokesman Dan Donohoe.
The investigation, and results of a toxicology screening for alcohol and drugs, is expected to take at least a month. Once it is completed, prosecutors will decide whether to bring charges against the Seahawks fullback, Donohoe said.
