Ishmael Adams Charged with Battery: Latest Details, Comments and Reaction

UCLA defensive back Ishmael Adams was charged Monday with misdemeanor battery in relation to an August incident involving an Uber driver.

Kyle Bonagura of ESPN.com notes Los Angeles city attorney spokesman Rob Wilcox confirmed charges had officially been filed. UCLA spokesman Josh Rupprecht stated the junior won't face any further school discipline for the incident after already sitting out the first three games of the season.

The report included prior comments from Bruins head coach Jim Mora, who felt Adams had faced enough punishment, but he left the door open to reverse course if new details emerged:

We feel as a program that he's missed a quarter of his season, and he's shown remorse for the actions that he's taken.
