Jeremiah Davis

The simple assault charge levied against ISU running back Walker Woods have been dropped, according to Iowa Courts Online.

Woods, a redshirt sophomore, was arrested in the early hours of Sept. 11. The affadavit, obtained by the Daily, said Woods was involved in a physical fight in which he tackled a woman and punched her in the right side of the face.

In addition to the simple assault charge, Woods was also arrested and charged with public intoxication. The public intoxication charge has not been dropped and is still pending.

Wide receiver Donnie Jennert, who is academically ineligible for this season, was with Woods that night and was also arrested for public intoxication. Jennert has since filed a formal complaint with the Ames Police. That complaint is still being looked into by the police.

There has yet to be an announcement from the athletic department as to any suspension or disciplinary action regarding Woods or Jennert.
