Prosecutors in Centre County, Penn., are withdrawing the felony aggravated assault charge against NHL draft prospect Gavin McKenna, according to a Friday news release.
The possible first overall pick of the upcoming NHL draft allegedly punched a 21-year-old male student in the right side of the face twice following a verbal altercation between McKenna's group and the victim's group on Jan. 31. The incident occurred hours after Penn State lost 5-4 in overtime to Michigan State in an outdoor game at Beaver Stadium.
