A Border Patrol agent accused of assaulting a Mexican teenager at a Nogales station in January 2014 won’t be charged, the Tucson News reports.
A misdemeanor charge was dismissed against Aldo Arteaga on Monday.
The case stems from surveillance video that showed the agent hitting a boy and taking his cell phone.
Since the teen was returned to Mexico just hours after the incident, prosecutors said they had no choice but to dismiss the case because the teen would not be able to attend any court hearings.
