Eric Lambkins II and Jude Ocañas, who were covering the NFL Draft in April for the school’s student-run news outlet, were accused of stealing three jerseys.
Missouri prosecutors dropped criminal charges against two USC journalism students accused of pilfering more than $1,000 worth of NFL Draft jerseys, according to court records and an attorney for one of the students.
Lambkins and his attorney confirmed to The Times that burglary, trespassing and theft charges against him and Ocañas were dropped a month ago, on Aug. 11. Lambkins said he doesn’t know why prosecutors dropped the charges except that the students offered to work with their school to produce a video called “Credentials Granted” about the “dos and don’ts of being a sports reporter.”The Jackson County district attorney’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
