Three witnesses said they saw Blackshear exit a home in Bluffton, S.C. on Feb. 7 after allegedly stealing property valued at $1,390 according to a Bluffton Police Department report, but Blackshear denied being at the house.
“From what we understand, he was innocent all the way,” Spurrier told to the Island Packet. “Unless something comes up differently. We had heard that they would drop the charges.
“As far as I know, he is clear to come with the rest of the team. He was falsely accused.”
