The last remaining charges have been dropped against Mario Guevara, a prominent Spanish-language journalist outside Atlanta who was arrested by local police while covering “No Kings” day protests in June.

The Gwinnett county solicitor, Lisamarie Bristol, announced on Thursday that her office would not prosecute the three traffic citations laid by the Gwinnett county sheriff’s office following Guevara’s arrest in DeKalb county. Guevara was turned over to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) shortly after his arrest, and has remained in federal custody despite being granted bond more than a week ago.
