Iowa State Athletes to Have All Charges from Sports Gambling Case Dismissed

Assistant Story County (Iowa) attorney Benjamin Matchan has filed a motion asking a judge to dismiss charges against four ex- or suspended Iowa State athletes who were among those criminally charged in the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation's sports gambling investigation, per ESPN News Services.

That news arrived Friday, a few days after attorneys representing ex-football players Isaiah Lee, Jirehl Brock and Eyioma Uwazurike and suspended wrestler Paniro Johnson filed a motion to suppress evidence.

That was in response to claims from attorneys representing Lee, which stated that DCI agents unlawfully monitored gambling activities through a warrantless search on the Iowa and ISU campuses, per the Daily Iowan.
