text: VERNON -- The lone charge UConn linebacker Scott Lutrus was facing for his role following a Spring Weekend fight near the Storrs campus was dropped Monday morning.
  Kyle Lutrus , who was visiting his younger brother in Storrs to celebrate Scott's 21st birthday, was somehow involved in a fight near the Celeron Square Apartments just off the UConn campus. During the fight Kyle Lutrus was slashed near his neck by what appeared to be a box cutter.
  According to Britt, as Kyle Lutrus was being arrested by police for his involvement, Scott Lutrus attempted to see how seriously his brother was injured. Police instructed Scott Lutrus to "back up" though the All-Big East performer only stopped his advance and said: "You don't understand. That's my brother."
  Scott Lutrus may have violated the letter of the law, though Britt called his actions on the night in question "understandable under the circumstances." The prosecutor in the case apparently agreed.
  "We appreciate the fact that the prosecutor decided not to pursue the charges in Scott's case," UConn coach Randy Edsall said through a school spokesman Monday afternoon. "Scott has been very remorseful to me and his teammates and all disciplinary action has been addressed internally. We look forward to Scott resuming his academic and conditioning schedule with his teammates as well as being a captain of the 2009 football team."
  Kyle Lutrus, 23, has been charged with two counts of interfering with an officer and one count of second-degree breach of peace. He applied for accelerated rehabilitation last week and his due back in court June 2.
  In other UConn-related police news, Kyle Bailey, a walk-on member of the UConn basketball team, was in Rockville Court Monday to answer a charge of attempted assault of public safety or emergency medical personnel. Bailey, who was arrested April 25, had his case continued to June 2.
  A 6-foot-3 guard, Bailey appeared in four games for the Huskies in the 2007-08 season. He did not play in any games during UConn's recently completed campaign.
