Driving under the influence and speeding charges against Tennessee redshirt sophomore offensive lineman Charles Mosley stemming from a July 2015 incident were dismissed after a preliminary hearing at Knox County General Sessions Court on Thursday.

Mosley's attorney Steve Oberman said the case was dismissed because the state failed to establish probable cause to arrest Mosley.

"The arresting officer believed he had sufficient grounds to arrest Mr. Mosley," Oberman told the News Sentinel. "The proof presented today in court was insufficient to send the case to the grand jury. ... Mr. Mosley and I are thrilled to have the case concluded in such a favorable fashion."

The Tennessee Highway Patrol report on the incident claimed that Mosley was stopped by patrol officer William Satterfield at 1:51 a.m. on July 22 on Interstate 40 for allegedly traveling 79 mph in a 55 mph zone.

Satterfield noticed an odor of marijuana as he approached the vehicle, according to the arrest warrant. Mosley said he had been with friends at the Econo Lodge on Lovell Road who were smoking, but that he had not.

However, he performed poorly on a field sobriety test according to the arrest warrant, and marijuana residue was allegedly found in the front passenger area and the back seat.

Mosley submitted to a blood test, which was still pending when the arrest report was filed. The presence of alcohol was not detected, and he was not tested for it.

Tennessee coach Butch Jones said shortly after Mosley's arrest that his team discipline would be handled "internally." The 19-year-old Brighton native appeared in 12 games in the 2015 season as a backup at left guard. He missed all of the 2014 season with a broken leg suffered in a car accident.
