Broncos RB Off the Hook in Assault Case

Broncos RB Off the Hook in Assault CaseDenver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno will not face charges for allegedly punching a college kid in the face this weekend -- TMZ has learned cops have officially closed the case.

Moreno, a former star at the University of Georgia, was accused of punching an 18-year-old student at a bar in Athens late Saturday night.

But according to a rep from the Athens-Clarke County Police Department, the alleged victim does not want to press charges -- and cops have decided there is not enough evidence to pursue a case against Knowshon ... so they've decided to close the case.

You might have a problem with your source if they claim to work for Athens County Police Department... Athens, GA is in Clarke county.

LOL!

I feel ya, Ryguy! The ignorance of the majority of people who post on this site (and others) is incredible!

And what's really scary is they all (most likely all) have the power to vote!

Amy, it is officially known as Athens-Clarke County, as it is displayed in the article. But that's ok, they only unified 20 years ago, word will get around to you eventually.

Also, here's how the scene went down: The freshman who got face-punched pushed and verbally berated a female at the bar (he was pretty drunk). I don't know if Knowshon knew the girl, but he pretty calmly walked over to the guy and laid him out flat. It was pretty entertaining, but I'm guessing that's why he isn't pressing charges. Also, getting assaulted by such a local celebrity is a coveted honor here.
