Cops to Connolly: You're in the Clear

Published | Updated

TMZ has learned that "Entourage" star Kevin Connolly will not have to face a judge for allegedly assaulting a guy at a club who got cold feet hours after filing a police report about the incident. Shocker.

We're told the case will be closed today, and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will not refer it to the District Attorney for prosecution.

Alleged "victim" Phillip Roby told Sheriff's deputies that after seeing his picture on TMZ, he did not want the attention -- and changed his mind about going forward with the case. Roby also told the Sheriff, "The juice is not worth the squeeze." Whatever that means.

Alleged "Entourage" Victim Says "Never Mind!"

Published | Updated

The man who filed an official police report accusing Kevin Connolly of battering him at Villa nightclub says he's dropping the matter.

Phillip Roby, who had claimed Connolly jumped over a table and pummeled him in the head this weekend, filed a battery report against the "Entourage" star this afternoon. But just a few minutes ago, Roby told TMZ he just went to the Sheriff's Department and told them "never mind." He tells us he told deputies, "Look at me, I'm fine," adding that he doesn't want to pursue this any further.

Interestingly, cops tell TMZ someone claiming to be Roby called to drop it, but they said he had to do it in person and so far no one has shown up.

Sources tell TMZ multiple witnesses dispute Roby's story, claiming he was downing Patron Silver and being aggressive in the club, starting an unrelated fight inside. One source says he was actually ejected and that Kevin never touched him.

The Sheriffs tells TMZ detectives will investigate.

TMZ got shots of Roby outside of the club after the alleged incident. He says, "E from 'Entourage' is a bitch." He asks Sheriff's deputies about taking a report and they tell him to go to the station. You also hear someone -- possibly connected with the club -- telling Roby to "Shut the f**k up!"

Connolly's rep tells TMZ, "There's nothing to it."
