Charges of burglary and carrying a false ID against Dominic G. Yorio, 20, of Summit, NJ, had been dropped, court papers show. Yorio pleaded guilty to public drunkenness and purchase of alcohol by a minor last month, according to court documents.

Yorio supposedly burglarized a Gettysburg home and then led police on a foot pursuit before he was found hiding  in the attic of someone else's home, the Gettysburg Times previously reported. Yorio's family members tell Daily Voice he did not hide in someone else's attic.

Yorio is a Junior at Gettysburg where he majors in economics, according to his LinkedIn profile and college sports profile.

His brother, Ryan O'Malley, played in the NFL for the Oakland Raisers, Buffalo Bills, New York Giants, Atlanta Legends and Los Angeles Wildcats, according to his Gettysburg Sports profile.
