Michigan State football players charged in tunnel fight face pathway for cases to be dismissed

At least four more Michigan State football players facing misdemeanor charges for a skirmish inside the Michigan Stadium tunnel will likely have their cases dismissed in exchange for community service and other conditions, lawyers said Friday.

“It’s going to happen outside of court,” said Max Manoogian, an attorney for Angelo Grose. “There is going to be no criminal responsibility whatsoever. There are no admissions being made, no pleas being tendered,”

Scuffles broke out in the tunnel after Michigan defeated MSU, 29-7, on Oct. 29. Video showed Michigan State players pushing, punching and kicking Michigan defensive backs Ja’Den McBurrows and Gemon Green.
