VERNON -- The lone charge UConn linebacker Scott Lutrus was facing for his
role following a Spring Weekend fight near the Storrs campus was dropped Monday
morning.

Lutrus did not appear in Rockville Superior Court Monday, though he did
make a $100 charitable contribution through the court before the charge was
dismissed. He also apologized in writing to the officer. He did not return a
phone call seeking comment.

"We appreciate the fact that the prosecutor decided not to pursue the charges in Scott's case," UConn coach Randy Edsall said through a school spokesman Monday afternoon. "Scott has been very remorseful to me and his teammates and all disciplinary action has been
addressed internally. We look forward to Scott resuming his academic and
conditioning schedule with his teammates as well as being a captain of the 2009
football team."

Kyle Lutrus, 23, has been charged with two counts of interfering with
an officer and one count of second-degree breach of peace. He applied for
accelerated rehabilitation last week and his due back in court June 2
