State dismisses charges against Mitchell, teammates

Presented by Epson

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The State Attorney's office dismissed charges Friday against Florida offensive lineman Mo Mitchell and two teammates accused of vandalizing cars.

State attorney Bill Cervone said investigators were unable to locate the only witness in the case, and there was no forensic evidence to move the case forward.

In January, police filed complaints against Mitchell, who played extensively for the Gators last season, and teammates Brian Crum and Channing Crowder. They were accused of tearing the mirrors off eight cars.
