I think I can do the math that they were never arrested or charged no matter how badly people would want them to be.
Because the owners of the building didn't want to press charges.
There's a difference between not being charged because you did nothing, and not being charged.
"Both Winston and his roommate at the time, defensive end Chris Casher, told officers the next day that they had been involved in a series of "battles" involving other FSU players that had been going on for a month. They denied shooting any BB guns themselves but said someone threw eggs at their window and shot at them with a paintball launcher.
Police found BBs littering the ground and saw windows in several apartments with small holes.
Police records show the apartment manager, Dave Sudekum, initially wanted to evict Winston and three other tenants but decided to not press charges after an FSU athletic department official promised that the players would pay for the damage.
Sudekum initially told a reporter this week that a previous management company had been involved. When told his name was on the report, he then said he couldn't remember the incident, which happened the day after FSU lost to Florida. Winston, a redshirt freshman this season, did not play in the game. FSU athletic department officials have not responded to emailed questions about the incident."
So they admit they were involved in the battles, the police found bb guns in their apartments, but they didn't shoot them? And the last part confirms they didn't press charges because FSU persuaded them not to.
Also if you actually read about the case Winston and his roommate were stopped by campus police, at gunpoint, because someone reported him on campus with a gun. It was a pellet gun, related to said battles, but Winston told police he used the gun to shoot squirrels on campus(which was also against the rules). So he's walking around campus with a pellet gun, any idea how many people get shot and killed by police because they think they have a weapon?
