All criminal charges dropped against Pitt's Horton

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Ithiel Horton's criminal charges from his arrest on Nov. 6 were all dropped Thursday.

Pitt's junior shooting guard and the team's highest scorer from last season that was still on the team for 2021-2022 was arrested in the south side of Pittsburgh and charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. Horton was alleged to have struck a police officer stemming from an incident that stemmed from an illegal parking concern.

Horton's initial preliminary hearing was originally scheduled for Nov. 18, but was delayed to Dec.
