There’s some good news on the legal front for one member of the Missouri football program.
Over the weekend, Tre Williams was arrested at his off-campus apartment for suspicion of second-degree domestic assault following an incident involving a woman with whom he was having “an intimate relationship.” Late Tuesday night, the Columbia Missourian reported that the charge, a Class D felony, will not be filed against the defensive lineman.
The assistant prosecuting attorney, Susan Boresi, told the Missourian that "[a]dditional information came forward that made it impossible to prosecute the case.” The specific new information that came to light was not detailed.
As a result of the arrest, Williams was indefinitely suspended by head coach Barry Odom; at this time, the suspension remains in place, although it’s expected it will be revisited.
A redshirt sophomore, Williams began the season as a starting defensive end for the Tigers before losing the job over the last half of the year. Williams’ 2½ sacks are still good for third on the team.
