[LOCKED] (OT) ESPN: Prosecutor decides not to pursue charges against Browns' Andy Moeller

Felt this was relevant since there were so many comments, opinions, etc. when the accusation first came about. This is provided as an update to the situation.

MOD EDIT - the lock was the OP's request actually, but it is probably for the best to just provide the update and move on. I would agree, as the first thread about Moeller got a little testy, to say the least - LSA

Suspended Cleveland Browns offensive line coach Andy Moeller will not face assault charges, Berea (Ohio) prosecutor Jim Walters announced Wednesday.

Moeller, 51, was being investigated for an alleged assault of a woman who called 911 on Sept. 5 and said she was his fiancée. In the 911 call, the woman said Moeller tried to "strangle" her.

The Browns said in a statement Wednesday that Moeller's suspension "remains indefinite.'' The team said it would have no further comment on the matter.

Moeller is expected to meet with the NFL next week and, although he won't be charged, he could face discipline from the league because alcohol was involved and he has a history with it, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

In his decision, Walters wrote that "it is quite clear that an incident of a volatile nature took place between Mr. Moeller and [the accuser] on the evening of the call but what is less clear is the exact nature of the incident and the actions of the two persons involved."

Walters wrote that "it is clear to me that the consumption of alcohol contributed significantly to the incident. According to the reports of the police officers responding to the call, both had been drinking."
