Emoni Bates’s Felony Charges Set to be Dismissed, per Report

Eastern Michigan star Emoni Bates's felony charges are scheduled to be dismissed next week, according to ESPN's Jeff Borzello and Pete Thamel.

Bates was facing two felony gun charges after police uncovered a gun in the car he was driving during a traffic stop in September. Per Borzello and Thamel, the charges will be dismissed on Wednesday, Oct. 19 after a plea deal was negotiated.

The 18-year-old is reportedly expected to plead to one misdemeanor count of attempted illegal transportation of a weapon at Washtenaw County Circuit Court. Upon completion of a misdemeanor diversion program, the felony charges will be completely dismissed.
