A district judge in Ann Arbor, Mich., dropped the embezzlement charge against former University of Michigan baseball Coach Bud Middaugh, saying prosecutors failed to prove that a crime was committed.
Assistant prosecutor Lynwood Noah had tried to prove that Middaugh had illegally used money from the sale of football programs to write checks to a high school booster club and a former Michigan baseball player.
After a 2 1/2-hour preliminary examination, Judge George Alexander said: “The people were unable to show that a crime was committed.”
