The Douglas County District Attorney’s office on Wednesday dismissed the misdemeanor battery charge against Kansas basketball player Carlton Bragg and filed a battery charge against Saleeha Soofi, the woman who claimed Bragg punched her.
The decision by Douglas County District Attorney Charles Branson came after the Lawrence Police Department obtained surveillance video that showed a woman shoving and pushing a man, according to a release from the prosecutor’s office.
After the charge was dropped, KU coach Bill Self lifted Bragg’s indefinite suspension from competition.
Bragg, who turned 21 Wednesday, pleaded not guilty Friday afternoon after he was accused of striking Soofi, 19, in the face and pushing her down stairs early that morning.
