WILKES-BARRE TWP., LUZERNE COUNTY- Charges against two Pioneers football players have been dropped, and it's not because there wasn't a case.
Police say Justin Parrish and his teammate Jason Acquaye were charged last month with assault after a street fight.
Thursday in court, the Luzerne County District Attorney's office told Eyewitness News they were never told about the hearing, and as a result, a Wilkes-Barre police officer withdrew the charges.
D. A. Jackie Musto Carroll says no Assistant D. A. was ever assigned to the case because Wilkes-Barre Police never called them.
Musto-Carroll said charges will be re-filed. | |
