"&lt;strong&gt;Everson Griffen&lt;/strong&gt; -- the NFL star who was tased by police last night after allegedly assaulting a cop -- won't face felony charges over the incident, but could still face lesser charges down the road.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=\"http://tmz.vo.llnwd.net/o28/newsdesk/tmz_documents/0201_everson_charge.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"&gt;&lt;img src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2011/02/01/0201-everson-doc-launch-ex-getty-credit.jpg\" alt=\"0201_everson_doc_launch_EX_Getty\" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Griffen was pulled over around 4:00 PM yesterday near the campus of USC and he failed to produce ID. We're told Griffen tried to take off on foot and allegedly assaulted an officer in the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The case has now been referred to the Los Angeles City Attorney's Office for misdemeanor consideration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;According to the charge evaluation worksheet -- after cops tasered Griffin twice, he then reached up and grabbed the cop in the \"crotch and squeezed.\" Seeing as Griffin didn't have a criminal history and there was \"absence of injury,\" the case was referred to the City Attorney for misdemeanor consideration. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- relatedlinks --&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
