Here's a bizarre story. Not too much detail but where was the threat ? www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,199610,00.html
The news story said that the naked guy didn't want to pursue charges, and that's probably why the cops dropped it. Still, it's the DA's call whether to pursue charges, not the cops or the victim. This is a weird case...
In all actuality though if the victim doesn't want to press charges the only things the DA could really prosecute on would be things like discharging a firearm in city limits,carrying a concealed weapon (which is void if the guy had a permit anyway), brandishing,little things like that.
not even the police can shoot at a fleeing suspect....hope that genius gets a nice jail sentence.
I think this is incorrect, I think the DAs have a little more power than that. Just like a domestic violence, the victim no longer has to press charges, the state can press charges on their behalf, with or without their consent
