Assault charges against a volunteer Citadel lacrosse coach have been dismissed, according to his attorney. Attorney David Aylor said that second-degree assault and battery charges against 33-year-old Garett Rosecrans were dismissed because Rosecrans was "merely defending himself."

An April assault charge against The Citadel’s lacrosse club coach was dismissed this morning after authorities determined he acted in self-defense, his attorney said.
