UML goalie cleared of drug charges

I had posted a tweet about Nevin Hamilton's arrest on my twitter account. Recently, Hamilton has been cleared of the charges against him.

UMass-Lowell goaltender Nevin Hamilton has been cleared of all charges stemming from his arrest last month in his hometown.

Hamilton, a rising senior from Ashland, Mass., was arrested on July 24 and charged with possession of a Class B drug. A Framingham man, 23-year-old Adam Neshe, was arrested at the same time and on the same street, facing the same charges.

Today, the university announced that Hamilton has been absolved of all the charges related to the arrest.

“Nevin was in the wrong place at the wrong time,” UMass-Lowell coach Blaise MacDonald said in a statement. “Fortunately, justice has prevailed and he has been exonerated of all charges.” [hockeyjournal.com]
