Georgia's Todd Gurley falsely accused of assault by student

Todd Gurley's skin color was enough for police to determine he was falsely accused of assault.

According to the Savannah Morning News, the accuser, a Georgia student, called police early Sunday morning to report that Gurley punched him at a bar. The accusation came after the student said he'd taken a selfie with Gurley, according to the report.

When police reviewed video footage of the incident, they found a white man had punched the student. Gurley is black. 

That was about all the evidence they needed to clear the running back's name.
