Rae Carruth won't seek custody of son after prison release

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Former Carolina Panthers wide receiver Rae Carruth has given up plans when he gets out of prison later this year to pursue a relationship with his son.

In a letter to the Charlotte Observer, Carruth wrote that he no longer will pursue custody of Chancellor Lee Adams, who lives in Charlotte with his maternal grandmother, Saundra Adams.

This letter came a few weeks after Carruth, scheduled to be released in October, sent a letter to WBTV in Charlotte in which he said he planned to pursue custody of his 18-year-old son.
