Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman will not be charged after being accused of battery following an incident at his son's high school wrestling match on Jan. 3, the St. Joseph's County Prosecutor's Office said in a statement Monday.
When asked by police if he could have "inadvertently touched" Fleeger as he walked past, Freeman said he didn't know.
The incident allegedly occurred after Vinny Freeman lost his match and was being escorted out of the gym.
That's when Fleeger approached Freeman and, according to the South Bend Tribune, allegedly began to "exchange words" with the group.
"Mr. Freeman turned toward the complainant and paused for approximately one second," the prosecutor's office said.
