**Cleveland Browns Rookie Quinshon Judkins Avoids Charges in Battery Case**
Prosecutors have decided not to pursue charges against Quinshon Judkins, a rookie running back for the Cleveland Browns, following a misdemeanor battery allegation stemming from an incident in Florida. The Broward State Attorney’s Office confirmed that the decision was made after a thorough review of police reports, surveillance footage, phone records, and other relevant materials.
Judkins, a former Ohio State player, was taken into custody in Fort Lauderdale on July 12, with the incident reportedly occurring five days prior. According to the arrest report, the situation escalated when Judkins became upset after reading text messages from family members. He was accused of striking a woman with a closed fist near her chin, as well as causing injuries to her thigh and arm. The alleged incident took place while Judkins was in a vehicle departing from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.
The memorandum obtained by ESPN indicated that there was no video evidence capturing the incident, and no independent witnesses were present. While the victim provided photographs showing her injuries, there were also videos from the same timeframe that did not show any visible harm. The report noted that the victim had opportunities to report the incident independently but chose not to do so immediately, raising questions about the credibility of the claims.
Due to these factors, the prosecutors concluded that there was insufficient evidence to secure a conviction, leading to the decision to drop the case. The NFL is currently monitoring the situation, which remains under review.
Judkins was selected by the Browns in the second round of this year’s NFL Draft but has remained unsigned as his legal matters unfolded.
