NEW BRUNSWICK The temporary restraining order and the simple assault charge under domestic violence against Rutgers football star Leonte Carroo both were dismissed Tuesday after the parties signed a consent order in Family Court and the accuser decided not to testify in municipal court.
Carroo, who has been suspended from the program since Sept. 13, appears likely to be reinstated after missing two games while facing charges stemming from a Sept. 12 incident that took place outside the Hale Center in Piscataway after a football game.
“All decisions about a player’s eligibility are left up to the coach,” Rutgers senior vice president for external affairs Pete McDonough told Gannett New Jersey.
