The legal situation facing two Alabama football players ended Monday.

The district attorney in Monroe, La., decided not to pursue prosecution of Cam Robinson and Hootie Jones, AL.com confirmed.

DA Jerry Jones told KNOE-TV the thinking behind the decision.

"I want to emphasize once again that the main reason I'm doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and their teenage years, working and sweating, while we were all home in the air conditioning," Jones told KNOE.

A local television reporter tweeted the documents related to the case.

Robinson faced felony charges from the May 17 arrest in a public park in Monroe. He was charged with possession of a stolen gun and possession of marijuana.

According to the police report, Robinson and Jones were arrested after 2 a.m. when police spotted their car parked in a closed public park. Both were charged with possession of marijuana. Jones had a gun in his lap. A second gun, determined to be stolen, was found under Robinson's seat.

Alabama coach Nick Saban said multiple times he'd wait for the legal process before deciding punishments for his two players. Further comments or reaction to Monday's news was not expected from Saban, according to a UA spokesperson.

"If we can change their behavior based on what we do, that would be the purpose of discipline," Saban said May 18. "Discipline is not necessarily just punishment, which a lot of people view it that way. It's how do you change somebody's behavior so they have a better chance to be successful.

"That's the way we've always done it. That's the way we always try to do it. That's the way I like to do it with my own children. I think that's the way most parents like to do it with their own children."
