No charges filed against athletes

Friday, November 13, 2009

City prosecutors say there will be no charges filed in the September altercation between KU athletes outside the Burge Union.

Jerry Little, the supervising city prosecutor, said there was insufficient evidence to file any charges in the case.

KUPD completed a disorderly conduct investigation last month and sent the evidence to the city prosecutor’s office for determination of charges.

Guy Lipscomb, a 19-year-old Lawrence man, has been charged in a separate, but related, criminal threat case. Police say he threatened to shoot two women outside the Burge Union shortly after the altercation between athletes. Police said they thought there was a connection between the two incidents.

Lipscomb will have a jury trial March 31, 2010 at 9 a.m.
