TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WCTV) – All felony charges have been dropped against a Florida State University kicker who was arrested on St. Patrick’s Day.
Conor McAneney’s arrest stemmed from a trespassing incident at a bar in Fort Lauderdale. While officers were trying to detain him, law enforcement said McAneney allegedly became “uncooperative and violent.”
The sophomore from Ireland was originally charged with battery on an officer, resisting an officer and trespassing.
He is now facing lesser charges in connection with the incident. He is charged with two misdemeanors, including resisting/obstructing without violence and disorderly intoxication, according to court documents.

Now, McAneney has been reinstated on the 2026 team roster, according to a University Athletics spokesperson.
