VALHALLA, N.Y. – A judge has dropped all charges against four New York college football players who were arrested after a teammate was killed by a police officer.
The action was taken Thursday by a town judge in New York. The players’ lawyer said a lawsuit is planned.
The four Pace University students were arrested Oct. 17 in the chaos that followed the shooting of 20-year-old Danroy Henry, of Easton, Mass., outside a bar in Thornwood, N.Y.
Last month, a grand jury declined to indict the officer who shot Henry. Two weeks ago, prosecutors moved to dismiss various charges of disorderly conduct, obstruction and criminal mischief against the teammates.
The players expressed relief. One of them, Joseph Romanick, of Slidell, La., noted that nothing can bring back their friend.
