Jurisprudence

Drug charges against University of Pittsburgh football players Jermaine Williams, 21, and Reuben Brown, 20, were dropped because authorities could not prove they knew $7,500 worth of crack cocaine was stored in their apartment. Brown, Williams and former Pittsburgh player Derrick Hicks, 22, were arrested Jan. 23 after narcotics detectives found the cocaine and $1,600 in cash in their apartment.
