UCLA defensive back Ishmael Adams won’t face felony charges after his arrest last month on suspicion of robbery.

The Los Angeles District Attorney’s office has referred the case to the city attorney, which could elect to file misdemeanor charges against the redshirt junior. NBC News first reported the development.

The Los Angeles City Attorney’s office had not received the case as of Monday afternoon. Adams is no longer scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday morning.

Adams has been suspended indefinitely since being taken into custody by the UCLA police department at 3:36 a.m. on August 30. He allegedly tried to steal a cell phone from an Uber drive.
