ASSOCIATED PRESS: No charges after drug investigation of Minnesota wrestlers
by Associated Press
No criminal charges will be filed in an investigation of University of Minnesota wrestlers allegedly involved in the sale and use of the anti-anxiety drug Xanax, prosecutors said Wednesday.
In a report, university police investigators said Hennepin County prosecutors declined to pursue the case due to "lack of evidence."
"We have declined to press charges at this time,'' Jean Heyer, a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office, told The Associated Press. She would not elaborate.
Also, Minneapolis City Attorney Susan Segal told the Star Tribune that there was not enough evidence to support misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor charges against wrestling coach J Robinson. Segal said university police presented their case to her office last week, after going to the county attorney's office.
