Brown's assault charge dropped, Curry's case continued until April

Sophomore offensive lineman Elton Brown's class one misdemeanor assault and battery charge was dismissed Monday in Charlottesville District Court, according to court records.

Brown was arrested Jan. 19 for an incident in the Copeley residence area. University police responded to the incident.

Brown started last season at right guard. In 2001 he became the first true freshman to start on the offensive line since 1973.

Next year's captain and junior cornerback Almondo Curry was arrested along with Brown on the same charge. His case was continued until April 21.
