Judkins was arrested on July 14 by Fort
Lauderdale police after they received a report of battery that
he allegedly committed a week earlier near the city's airport.
The assistant state attorney assigned to review the case wrote
in a memorandum that there were several reasons not to
prosecute, including the delayed report, a lack of video
evidence and a lack of independent witnesses.
“Although the victim had photos showing injuries sustained,
there were also videos in that same time frame where no injuries
were observed to the victim. Additionally, the victim’s injuries
depicted in the photos could be explained by either account of
the incident,” the memo said.
Judkins, the only NFL draft pick who remains unsigned, could be
subject to discipline under the league's personal conduct
policy.
The 21-year-old Judkins was the 36th pick in the NFL draft after
rushing for 1,060 yards and 14 touchdowns at Ohio State last
season.
The Browns drafted Judkins in the hopes that he could become the
team’s lead running back after Nick Chubb signed with the
Houston Texans. Cleveland also drafted Dylan Sampson in the
fourth round.
