KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A district attorney says no more charges
will be filed against Tennessee football players in a bar brawl
that left an off-duty police officer seriously injured.
Sophomore defensive back Darren Myles Jr. and freshman wide
receiver Da'Rick Rogers were arrested after the July 9 fight at Bar
Knoxville.
Myles pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and public intoxication
and was kicked off the team. Rogers' resisting arrest charge was
dropped Tuesday and a disorderly conduct charge is expected to be
dropped in October.
Knox County District Attorney Randy Nichols said Tuesday that
there wasn't enough evidence to bring more charges.
At least a dozen Tennessee players were rumored to be at the
crowded bar. The injured Knoxville officer is back at work.
