California teen’s dog-fighting charges dropped
A California teenager who said he was a dog-fearing vigilante who protected his neighbors from crime has been cleared of the charges against him.
State prosecutors dropped criminal charges of animal cruelty against 19-year-old Caleb Brown, who had been charged with multiple felonies.
Brown had pleaded not guilty in November to a charge of animal neglect and was released from a halfway house after his initial trial.
Prosecutors argued Brown’s dogfighting was part of his vigilante lifestyle and that he was not a danger to anyone, according to The Associated Press.
Prosecutors said the investigation found no evidence of Brown being the target of a violent crime or having any intent to cause harm.
