Panama City (Fla.) police say they've contacted Dak Prescott to get his side of the story in a spring break incident that involved him and two other Mississippi State players and the Mississippi State QB has declined to press charges.
Prescott, Torrey Dale and Damian Williams were assaulted at a concert while on spring break in Panama City. Part of the incident was captured on video, and according to Mississippi State, none of the players suffered serious injuries.
The video shows Prescott being kicked while Dale and Williams were punched. Mississippi State said Monday night that the incident was unprovoked.
Chad Lindsey, the deputy police chief for the Panama City Police Department told the Clarion-Ledger that the department was waiting to hear back from Prescott.
"We're waiting on Mr. Prescott to contact us," Lindsey said. "We haven't heard back."
Lindsey also said that the statute of limitations could allow Prescott, Dale and Williams to press charges for up to three years. Per the Clarion-Ledger, police are "hesitant" to do so based off the video alone, meaning that if Prescott, Dale or Williams wanted to press charges, they're going to likely need to be interviewed by police first.
"It would help if the victim was here and could make a statement," Lindsey said. "We're more than willing to hear his side of the story."
Mississippi State is set to begin spring practice next week.
