SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Prosecutors are dismissing criminal charges against a University of Utah football player who was kicked off the team, but leaving open the possibility of refiling altered charges.
Salt Lake District Attorney chief deputy Blake Nakamura says new evidence suggests Dominique Hatfield was not the person who robbed a man at knifepoint who planned to buy an Xbox game console. But Nakamura says Hatfield may still have been aware of or involved in the scheme.
Nakamura says they also still believe Hatfield tried to sell stolen cellphones to the same victim in a second interaction.
