Cam Robinson and teammate Laurence “Hootie” Jones were arrested in their home state of Louisiana one month ago, but the two received some good news on Tuesday when District Attorney Jerry Jones refused to prosecute due to insufficient evidence.
Jones told local news station, KNOE 8 News, he lacked the evidence needed to determine who should be charged with possession of the stolen firearm and the marijuana found at the scene, but he also mentioned other reasons as well.
“I want to emphasize once again that the main reason I’m doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years, working and sweating, while we were all in the air conditioning,” Jones said.
