CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WUSA9) -- A University of Virginia student who was seriously injured during an arrest outside a Charlottesville bar will not face any charges.

The Charlottesville Commonwealth's Attorney has decided not to prosecute Martese Johnson, saying it was in the best interest of everyone not to pursue any charges.

Johnson is expected to address the case Friday morning in Charlottesville. That is the entire article.

All charges have been dropped in the case of Martese Johnson, a UVa. student from Chicago whose arrest outside a Charlottesville bar on March 18 gained widespread attention. Photos and video showed Johnson pinned on the ground by an state Alcohol Beverage Control Department agent, his face bloodied.

He had been charged with public intoxication and obstruction of justice without force.

2. I want to kick this. WE at DU were rightfully

outraged when this young man was abused ( to say it lightly )

WE want justice, and right here, we have it.

3. Justice will be

when the cops who did this are charged. Then we'll have justice.

If they have and I missed it, mybad.
