KNOXVILLE, Tenn.(AP) — Prosecutors have dropped attempted
aggravated robbery charges against Tennessee freshman safety
Janzen Jackson.

The Knox County District Attorney’s office said Monday that
charges would be dropped against the 18-year-old. Charges were
also dropped against 22-year-old Marie Montmarquet, who had been
accused of driving the getaway car.

The district attorney’s office said neither person knew the
robbery was going to happen.

Charges are still pending against Jackson’s former teammates,
Nu’Keese Richardson and Mike Edwards, who are accused of holding
up two men at a convenience store.

Jackson’s attorney, Don Bosch, says his client was at the wrong
place at the wrong time.

Coach Lane Kiffin said Sunday that he was waiting to make a
decision about Jackson’s future with the team.
