Charges dropped in Guilford College case GREENSBORO -- Charges against all the Guilford College football players involved in a recent fight at the school are being dismissed, the Guilford County District Attorney's office said Wednesday. Six players had been facing assault charges following the January incident. Assistant District Attorney Howard Neumann said the decision stemmed from several factors, including conflicting witness statements. Three Palestinian students said they were beaten and were the target of ethnic slurs during the incident, while the father of one of the players said the Palestinian students had started the fight.
