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.
