Former Eagles center Jason Kelce will not be charged with a crime after an investigation by Penn State University Police and Public Safety into last month’s incident that saw Kelce smash someone’s phone to the ground.
Video of the incident, which took place before Penn State’s game against Ohio State, shows a person taunting Kelce and calling his brother Travis a homphobic slur. Kelce responded by grabbing the phone and slamming it to the ground while repeating the slur in reference to the other person.
A statement from a police spokesperson said that the investigation has been closed and that no action will be taken.
“The individual in the video footage circulating on social media has not been identified, and no one has come forward to University Police with a related complaint about damage to personal property,” the spokesperson said, via TheAthletic.com.
Kelce apologized for his actions while on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown and ESPN declined to take any disciplinary action in the wake of the incident.
