AMES, Iowa — An Iowa State football player accused of illegal sports wagering has had his case dismissed and faces no more legal action. A Story County judge granted the prosecution's motion on Monday to dismiss a misdemeanor tampering with records charge against tight end DeShawn Hanika because the state waited too long to indict him. Hanika's attorneys originally asked for the dismissal and prosecutors agreed because Hanika was not indicted within 45 days after he waived a preliminary trial, as state law requires. The deadline was Sept. 24. He was not indicted until Sept. 28.
