Wymore said he then walked to the ticket office to buy another ticket with Schwandt flanking him. After he purchased another ticket, Wymore tried to re-enter.
"Before I even got my foot in the door he had me in hand-cuffs." Wymore said in the June 6 Kansan.
Wymore spent the next 30 minutes in the Boone County Jail before his friends bailed him out.
Rich Littrell, Lee's Summit, Mo., senior, was subpoenaed as a witness for the Dec. 21 trial.
"I'm glad that the charges were dropped." Littrell said. "Justice was served for him. I'm upset that nothing happened to Chief Watring."
University of Missouri officials cleared Watring from assault allegations after a three-month investigation that ended May 27.
"We're looking forward to putting the incident behind us," Wymore said.

Finish strong in last regatta
CLUB SPORTS

The Kansas sailing team claimed third place at the Timme Angsten Memorial Regatta at the Chicago Yacht Club last weekend.
Tim Fitzgerald, team member, said the event was one of the biggest of the season.
The team of Fitzgerald and Alli Jones finished third in the A division, behind Boston College and Vermont. Evan Charles and Blake Harris finished 13th in the B division.
"It's basically like a bowl game of college sailing," Fitzgerald said. "Most teams have coaches and are big-time college programs."
In sailing competitions, each boat consists of two people and the A and B teams switch boats after each race. The scores from
the A and B teams are combined to create an overall score. In the overall scores, the combined Kansas teams finished eighth.
Fitzgerald said the team was more prepared for the cold and had more time to improve on its performance last season. This preparation enabled the A team to finish first in the beginning race of the regatta.
To prepare for competitions, the team practiced on Monday afternoons for three hours. Fitzgerald said the team practiced five to eight times this semester.
The team's finish at Chicago is its fourth finish in the top three this season. It won the first regatta at Wisconsin and then placed second at Texas-Austin and Texas A&M.
The Kansas sailing team is done competing until next semester.

Giles said he and Kaun would still run the fast-break offense, but if they did not make a play, they would move to the high-low offense.
"The primary break takes over everything," Giles said of the fast-break offense.
That philosophy will work tonight for the Jayhawks only if Kaun and Giles stay out of foul trouble, something they struggled to do during the games in Maui. Kaun fouled out of the game against Arizona, while Giles played with four fouls during the key minutes of the second half. Giles also picked up four fouls in the game against Arkansas. Tonight could be an even bigger challenge for the two forwards to stay out of foul trouble because they will be matched up against Nevada's power forward Nick Fazekas, who leads the starters in scoring and rebounding, averaging 18 points and eight rebounds per game.
Having a ranked nonconference opponent come to Allen Fieldhouse to face an unranked Jayhawks team is an unusual situation for the Jayhawks, who were ranked No. 2 last year when they took on the Wolf Pack.
"He is much better defensively than what we thought he would be," Self said.
The Jajahawks will have to find a way to stop Fazekas and sophomore guard Marcelus Kemp, who leads the team in scoring, even though he has yet to start a game this season. Self said freshman forward Brandon Rush would draw the assignment on Kemp. This will be Rush's third key defensive assignment in four games. Against Arizona, Rush matched up against its best player, Hassan Adams, and he worked on Arkansas' standout guard Ronnie Brewer.
"If we are successful Thursday
Self said to expect the same starters from the past four games: Jeff Hawkins, Russell Robinson, Brandon Rush, Sasha Kaun and CJ Giles.
night, it will be a heck of a win." Self said. "We are going to have to be good Thursday and I certainly think we can be, but this is a team that would finish in the upper tier of our league."
Self said the Jayhawks knew they would play the first third of the season without sophomore forward Darnell Jackson before the news was released. Jackson was suspended for the opening one-third of the season for accepting gifts from a booster. Self said his absence had played a part in the way the Jayhawks had planned to play in the Maui tournament.
Notes:
"We were trying to get to where we didn't have to play so big," she said.

Jayhawks tally times in top 100
Eight Kansas swimmers have times ranking in the Top 100 collegiate swimming times. Freshman Ashley Leidigh has five top-100 times. She leads the nation in the 100 fly with a time of 53.08 and has three other times in the top 50.
Freshmen Danielle Herrmann and Molly Brammer, sophomores Lauren Bonfe and Terri Schramka, junior Jenny Short and senior Gina Gnatzig all had times in the top 100 of the nation.
"The individual rankings are a great reflection on how we did at the Minnesota Invitaional," Kansas swimming and diving coach Clark Campbell said. "We are really looking forward to our championship season in February and March. We have several individuals and relays that can reach the NCAA Championships and score points." Kansas competes Friday and Saturday against Harvard and Northeastern in Cambridge, Mass. The NCAA Championships are scheduled for March 16 in Athens, Ga.

Rockhurst cornerback commits
Kansas landed its 11th verbal commitment from a high school football player on Tuesday.
Phillip Strozier, of Rockhurst High School in Kansas City, Mo., told recruiting Web site rivals. com that he verbally agreed to play for Kansas next season.
"We talked yesterday and he told me he just felt comfortable with them," Strozier's coach Tony Severino told rivals.com. "They have done a good job of recruiting our school."
Strozier is rated the eighth-best player in the state of Missouri and the 42nd-best cornerback in the nation by the Web site. Strozier turned down offers from Missouri and Houston. His brother, Noah, is a junior at Kansas State and also plays cornerback.
