This guy grabbed a woman by the throat and then threatened another
Miami wide receiver Ryan Moore grabbed a woman by the throat, pushed her to the ground and threatened another woman, according to a police report.
Moore, a 22-year-old fifth-year senior from Orlando, was not arrested after the incident early Saturday, according to the Coral Gables police report released Monday. He was suspended indefinitely Saturday by coach Larry Coker, who would say only that Moore was being punished for violating team policy.
The report will be forwarded to prosecutors who will decide if Moore should be charged, said Sgt. Michael Frevola, a Coral Gables police spokesman.
"These are not felony charges at this point," Frevola said Tuesday.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office was closed because of Tropical Storm Ernesto and was not expected to make any decisions about possible charges until at least Thursday.
The report said Moore had an altercation with a woman and kicked her car door. When she exited, he grabbed her by the neck and pushed her down. A second woman got out of the car and Moore threatened her.
Frevola said Moore left before police arrived. The driver complained about pain in the back of her head and was given an ice pack.
Moore also was suspended for the team's appearance in the Peach Bowl at the end of last season, then suspended for the first two games of this season because of other violations of team rules.
The 12th-ranked Hurricanes open their season against No. 11 Florida State on Monday night.
