Portland State Players Cleared of Beating a Man in Mexico - FanHouse - AOL Sports Blog

It was a salacious story last month. Two players from Portland State were put into a Mexican prison after being accused of beating a man while down in Cabo San Lucas for spring break. Portland State immediately suspended Scott Morrison and Jeremiah Dominguez pending the outcome of the investigation and possible charges.

Then the story disappeared from national attention. Well, it turned out that only days after their arrest, they were quietly released. An investigation yielded no evidence that the two were involved in the incidents and no charges were filed.

The person who was injured, a Michigan resident who was down there on an internship, still maintain it was Morrison who broke his jaw. He and his family are still seeking to have charges brought (if they can find anyone who can corroborate his story) and are looking into a civil action.

In the meantime, Portland State has reinstated the players.
