Felony assault charges against former Nebraska football coach Mickey Joseph dismissed.

A Lancaster County judge has dismissed the felony assault charge against former interim Husker coach Mickey Joseph after the accuser refused to testify against him. The Lancaster County Prosecutor filed a motion to dismiss the case as the authorities in Arizona were unable to serve a subpoena at the accuser's home. Joseph had been accused of strangling a woman at his home during an argument over marital infidelity. Before the case's dismissal, Joseph was facing a charge of assault by strangulation, a Class IIIA felony.
