Tennessee OL Charles Mosley has DUI charges dropped

Tennessee offensive lineman Charles Mosley, who was cited for DUI and speeding last July, had his case dismissed Thursday.

Mosley's attorney Steve Oberman told the Knoxville News Sentinel that the case was dismissed because the state failed to establish probable cause to arrest Mosley.

"The arresting officer believed he had sufficient grounds to arrest Mr. Mosley," Oberman told the News Sentinel. "The proof presented today in court was insufficient to send the case to the grand jury. ... Mr. Mosley and I are thrilled to have the case concluded in such a favorable fashion."

Mosley was pulled over on July 22 at 1:51 a.m. for allegedly driving 79 mph in a 55-mph zone.

The arresting officer said he smelled marijuana when he approached the vehicle. Mosley said he had not been smoking, but that the friends he had been with earlier in the evening were.

Mosley failed a field sobriety test and the arresting officer said he found marijuana residue on the passenger side and in the backseat. Mosley submitted to a blood test, but that sample was not tested for alcohol.

Mosley faced internal discipline at the time, and subsequently appeared in 12 games last season as a backup at left guard.
