No criminal charges will be filed against the two Missouri women’s basketball players who were accused of assaulting an MU male cheerleader, Boone County prosecutors said Wednesday.
Prosecutors cited varying witness reports and the cheerleader’s decision not to press charges in closing the case against the 'Lady Tiger's' two leading scorers, Amanda Hanneman and Jessra Johnson, who were arrested early last Friday morning on suspicion of third-degree assault.
According to police, Hanneman, Johnson and a female friend had left a bar for Short’s apartment at 36 N. Cedar Lake Drive after celebrating a 49-point win over Texas Pan-Am that night.
Columbia police spokesperson Jessie Haden said a scuffle ensued after Justin Short, a male cheerleader for Missouri’s football and men's basketball teams, called police around 2 a.m. complaining that people would not leave his apartment. Short suffered a broken nose, eye injury and a dislocated shoulder after getting the pom-poms beat out of him by the 6'-1" Johnson and 5'-11" Hanneman. Police said he was taken by ambulance to University Hospital and released around 5 a.m. after he called his mommy. You knew we was gonna dig up Justin's ass too rah,rah,rah...
