Trespassing charge against ex-USC star Jordan Addison dropped: 'He did nothing wrong'

"According to the criminal report affidavit, the alleged incident happened at approximately 3:42 a.m. on Jan. 12 at a noodle bar inside the Seminole Hard Rock Casino. Addison was asked to leave several times by casino security but refused, the affidavit states, and had to be redirected several times toward the exit while being escorted out. He was taken into custody for trespass after warning, the report says."

"Susan S. Lopez, the state attorney for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit of Florida, filed a notice of termination of prosecution Tuesday in Hillsborough County Court, indicating that the case against Addison has been closed after a review of the criminal report affidavit."

""On Jordan's behalf, his legal team has already initiated the investigation, identified witnesses, and we are reviewing the viability of a claim for false arrest," Younger wrote. "He looks forward to the legal process and upon full investigation, we are confident Mr. Addison will be exonerated.""
