The University of Michigan Police Department has completed its criminal investigation into the Oct. 29 “incident in the Michigan Stadium tunnel” between the football teams of Michigan and Michigan State.

In a statement released 45 minutes after the Wolverines’ 34-3 win over Nebraska on Saturday in Ann Arbor, UMPD Deputy Chief of Police Melissa Overton said the case is now in the hands of the Washtenaw County Prosecutor’s Office for review. She added that her department collaborated “with our law enforcement partners and Michigan State University” and “thoroughly investigated what occurred.”

“We understand and appreciate your interest in this unfortunate and unusual incident,” Overton wrote in the statement.
