Former Nebraska Interim HC Mickey Joseph's Felony Assault Case Dismissed

A felony assault case against former Nebraska interim football coach Mickey Joseph has been dropped after the accuser decided not to testify, per Eric Olson of the Associated Press.

"A preliminary hearing was scheduled, but prosecutor Erica Pruess told Lancaster County Judge Laurie Yardley the accuser emailed her in February to say she wouldn't testify," Olson wrote.

"Pruess said authorities in Arizona, where the woman who lodged the complaint now lives, were unsuccessful in their attempt to serve a summons requiring her to appear."

Joseph was arrested in November on suspicion of strangulation and third-degree domestic assault, per the Lincoln Police Department.
