LOS ANGELES (AP) UCLA cornerback Ishmael Adams has been charged with misdemeanor battery over a run-in he had with an Uber driver shortly before the start of the season.
The Los Angeles city attorney's office filed the charge Monday.
The office received the case after the district attorney declined felony charges against Adams last month. Authorities had alleged that Adams stole a cellphone during an Aug. 30 fight with the driver.
The misdemeanor charge does not include theft, only battery against a transportation operator.
